Closure
The terms of the land lease, laid down by Maurice Egerton, Baron Egerton of Tatton, stipulated that flying from the site would cease within five years of the war's end. The hangars and ancillary buildings were demolished, and the aerodrome closed on 24 August 1924. The site would have been unable to cope with the increasing size and weight of airliners by the mid-1930s in any event. Princess Road was built through the eastern part of the airfield's site in 1924–25, and a council housing estate was erected on the eastern side of the new road.
