Town Hall and the Golden Gates
Emmjai Says: The Town Hall was built in 1750, and looks very majestic when viewed through the elaborate golden gates, reputably build for Buckingham Palace, whose occupant (Queen Victoria) rejected them. Never mind, her loss was Warrington's gain!
mikeajtaylor Says: Two teenage boys were killed in 1993 when the IRA detonated a bomb which had been placed in a waste paper bin in the town centre. This memorial known as the river of life has been created to the memory of these boys.
mikeajtaylor Says: Warrington is certainly a mix of old and new Built on an industrial base, it was a wealthy town during the early part of the industrial revolution . It was a centre for wire manufacture.The Golden Gates are sited at the entrance to the Town Hall
Emmjai Says: Now outside Warrington Town hall, these gates were designed to be outside Buckingham Palace, but apparently Queen Victoria didn't want them.Well London's loss was Warrington's gain (and have you seen the boring gates now outside Buckingham Palace?
Emmjai Says: In the middle of the shopping area, is a delightful water feature, build in memory of the two lads killed in 1993 by an IRA bomb.
Emmjai Says: The father of Charles Dodgson, (AKA Lewis Carroll of Alice in Wonderland fame) was the rector of this chuch on the southern outskirts of Warrington at the time of his birth, and there are several references to him and Alice in Wonderland both in the church, and in the town.
Rhode Island Coffee: Coffee galore!
mikeajtaylor Says: Tucked away in a corner of Golden Square in the heart of Warrington is this smashing coffee house. It's really friendly and just the place to sit a while and watch the world go by! Lots of really good coffee, cakes and pastries. Home made fruit cake - forget the...
The Royal Bombay: Wonderful food
mikeajtaylor Says: There's a really good chef at this restaurant.It takes a while for the food to arrive and you certainly aren't rushed. Service is good and friendly South Indian Lamb Chops!!!
The Barley Mow: Oldest Pub in Warrington?
Emmjai Says: This 16th Century coaching inn, still serves food and drink. It sits rather oddly, with a shopping Mall built around it, but it is a useful place for lunch when out and about in Warrrington
mikeajtaylor Says: This bar has an Irish theme. There are always several guest beers on saale from various microbreweries.There are a friendly folk and right next door is 'The Royal Bombay' No special dress
Mr Smith's: I'm old an past it!!
mikeajtaylor Says: Warrington 'hums' particularly towards the end of the week and weekend. There are loads of pubs (bars) and nighspots
Emmjai Says: Watch out, Warrington has two railway stations, one for trains running East West (Warrington Central) and one for trains running North South (Warrington Bank Quay). If you are meeting someone at the station, make sure you both know which one! They are about 11/2 miles apart!
Emmjai Says: Because Warrington is relatively flat, and with a network of canals, it is an ideal place to explore on a bicycle.
Do you want a picnic or a roam about the woods?
mikeajtaylor Says: Why not pay a visit to Walton Hall Gardens. They are about three miles from Warrington just off the old Chester Road. There are extensive gardens and woodland around the Hall which is now owned by Warrington Borough Council.There is a childrens zoo, a golf course, pitch and...

I've lived in Warrington for over 12 years. It lies on the River Mersey, halfway between Manchester and Liverpool, and has been inhabited since the Bronze age. The Romans also spent some time here......
