Hartfordbeach (or Hartford Beach) is an area in the parish of Hartford in the borough of Cheshire West and Chester in Cheshire, England. Its name is believed to originate from a beach that was once present in the area.[1] The hamlet is now part of the wider village of Hartford.[2] Hartford Beach is also the name of a house in Hartford, built in 1802 for a salt manufacturer and now divided into two; the name now applies to one part and the other is called The Beeches. The house is Grade II* listed in the National Heritage List for England.[3][4]
