Acre (Cheshire)
Unit of area
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Cheshire acre is a unit of area historically used in the English County of Cheshire.[1]
One Cheshire acre amounts to 10,240 square yards, or 92,160 square feet whereas a standard acre amounts to 4,840 square yards or 43,560 square feet; Thus a Cheshire acre is about 2.12 times larger than a standard acre.
Whereas a one-acre area ten times as long as wide would have dimensions of 66 by 660 feet (20 m × 201 m), the Cheshire acre of that shape would have dimensions of 96 by 960 feet (29 m × 293 m).
