Warrington is a large town and unitary authority area in Cheshire, England, on the banks of the River Mersey, 20 miles east of Liverpool, and 20 miles west of Manchester. Warrington is the largest town in the county of Cheshire.
Warrington was founded by the Romans at an important crossing place on the River Mersey. A new settlement was established by the Saxons. By the Middle Ages, Warrington had emerged as a market town at the lowest bridging point of the river. A local tradition of textile and tool production dates from this time.
Historically in Lancashire, the expansion and urbanisation of Warrington coincided with the Industrial Revolution, particularly after the Mersey was made navigable in the 18th century. The West Coast Main Line runs north to south through the town, and the Liverpool to Manchester railway (the Cheshire Lines route) west to east. The Manchester Ship Canal cuts through the south of the borough (west to east). The M6, M56 and M62 motorways form a partial box around the town.
The modern Borough of Warrington was formed in 1974 with the amalgamation of the former County Borough of Warrington, part of the Golborne Urban District, the Lymm Urban District, part of the Runcorn Rural District, the Warrington Rural District and part of the Whiston Rural District.
The Borough of Warrington is bordered by Halton, Cheshire West and Chester, and Cheshire East boroughs in the Ceremonial County of Cheshire and by the metropolitan boroughs of Trafford, Salford and Wigan in Greater Manchester and St. Helens in Merseyside. Warrington Borough Transport, trading as Network Warrington, one of the few municipal bus companies to survive in public ownership, runs most bus services within the town.

Warrington Walk: Town Centre【4K】
Located in the county of Cheshire, and roughly equidistant between Liverpool and Manchester, is the town of Warrington.
Geographically Warrington is situated along the River Mersey, which historically divided the counties of Lancashire to the north and Cheshire to the south. Indeed, Warrington was split between both counties according to this very rule up until 1974 after which, local government reforms saw it become a borough within Cheshire for administrative purposes.
In the Domesday Book of 1086 Warrington is recorded as 'Wallintun'. After the Norman Conquest, a motte and bailey castle was built in Warrington, but was in ruins by the 16th century. During the medieval era it had developed from a village into a small market town and a key bridging point across the River Mersey.
In 1651 Warrington was the location of the last Royalist victory of the English Civil War. The Battle of Warrington Bridge saw the future king Charles II, with the help of the Royalist Scottish army, force the Parliamentarians to retreat after a skirmish at the bridge.
In 1757 history was made with the opening of England's first canal, essentially ushering in the Industrial Revolution. The Sankey Canal connected the town of St Helens to the River Mersey via Warrington. This allowed it to do direct trade with neighbouring towns, including Liverpool which was still only a town at the time, albeit with a rapidly growing port. Major industries in Warrington included brewing, tanning, textiles and steel - particularly wire, hence why their main sporting team is nicknamed 'The Wire', but more on that later...
In 1837 the railway arrived in Warrington with the opening of Warrington Bank Quay station by Grand Junction Railway. In 1868 the station closed, and in its place was a new station opened by London and North Western Railway, also called Warrington Bank Quay. This was followed, around five years later, by Warrington Central Station. These two stations serve the town centre of Warrington to this day. The Bank Quay station is on the West Coast Main Line running from London Euston to Glasgow Central and Edinburgh Waverley, whilst the Central station runs roughly perpendicular, from west to east, with services running from Liverpool to Manchester and further afield.
In 1968 Warrington was designated as a New Town, which saw a surge in population with many new residents moving in from Liverpool and Manchester.
In spite of being flanked geographically by, objectively, two of the greatest footballing cities in the world (as much as it pains me to admit that), Warrington has no representation in the Football League. Instead it is very much a rugby league town. Warrington Wolves were founded in 1876, initially as Warrington Zingari Football Club. They are nicknamed 'The Wire', in reference to wire-drawing industry in the town. They play their home games at the Halliwell Jones Stadium, a short walk away from Warrington Central station.
Famous people from Warrington include Pete Postlethwaite, Burt Kwouk, Ian Brown and Kerry Katona. The indie band Viola Beach formed in Warrington in 2013. In 2016 all four band members and their manager were tragically killed when their car fell from a bridge in Södertälje, Sweden. A memorial to the band can be seen on Palmyra Square.

Video of the golden gates of the Town Hall in Warrington. Wiki says of them
The gates were made in cast iron by the Coalbrookdale Company at Ironbridge and had been shown at the International Exhibition in London in 1862.[10] It is believed that they were originally commissioned as a gift to Queen Victoria, but she declined them. They were seen at Ironbridge in 1893 by Frederick Monks, a member of the council, and he offered them as a gift to Warrington Borough Council. They were formally opened on 28 June 1895. On each side of the gates is an ornate screen which contains four columns. On top of each column is a statue of Nike, the goddess of victory. In the centre of the archway over the gate are the arms of Warrington Borough Council.[10] The gates, piers and associated lamps are listed Grade II*.[11]

VISIT DERWENT DAM | WALK THROUGH THE UPPER DERWENT VALLEY | ONE DAY WALKING TOUR
Greetings!
Today we walk around Upper Derwent Valley.
Sometimes referred to as Derbyshire's Lake District, the Peak District National Park's Upper Derwent Valley is known for its majestic reservoirs, spectacular scenery, peaceful forests and wild open spaces.The area is home to three large dams, known as the Derwent Dams, which offer some of the area's most spectacular scenery.
Whatever the season, Derwent Dams is a ‘must-see’ when visiting Derbyshire and the Peak District and is seen by many as the jewel in the Peak District’s crown.
The Industrial Revolution and urbanisation of the 19th century created huge demand for water in the industrial cities of the East Midlands and South Yorkshire. The proximity of Sheffield and its neighbours to the Upper Derwent valley were thus factors in the decision to dam the valley to create the Howden and Derwent reservoirs.
Construction of the neo-Gothic solid masonry dam began in 1902, a year after the building of Howden commenced, and proved a mammoth task.

Widnes Walk: Town Centre【4K】
Located in the county of Cheshire (although historically in Lancashire), and around 12 miles east, and slightly south, of central Liverpool, is the town of Widnes.
Up until the mid 19th century, the area we now know as Widnes was little more than a collection of scattered hamlets situated on marsh and moorland. This all began to change in 1847, when chemist and industrialist John Hutchinson established a chemical factory at Spike Island. This is an artificial island between the Mersey Estuary and the Sankey Canal, which was England's first ever canal, having opened in 1757.
The location of the factory on Spike Island meant that all the raw materials could be transported via the canal and railway, and the finished products could be transported via the same means. Further chemical factories were soon built nearby and the town grew rapidly. The demand for labour led to large-scale immigration to the area from Wales, Ireland, Poland and Lithuania. The substances being produced included soap, borax, soda ash, salt cake and bleaching powder. Other industries including iron and copper works soon developed.
In 1873 the railway arrived in Widnes, and was initially named Farnworth for Widnes. Farnworth at the time was a village just north of the town, which has since been absorbed to become a suburb. Today the station provides direct links to Liverpool in the west and Manchester and further afield to the east. It is believed that Paul Simon wrote the song Homeward Bound at Widnes station.
During the 1890s the chemical industry in Widnes went into decline as more efficient methods of making alkali were developed elsewhere.
In 1905 the Widnes–Runcorn Transporter Bridge opened, providing the town with its first direct link south of the Mersey via road traffic. In 1961 this was replaced by the Runcorn–Widnes Bridge, which was renamed the Silver Jubilee Bridge in 1977.
Historically the River Mersey has acted as the boundary between the counties of Cheshire to the south and Lancashire to the north. Up until 1974, Widnes belonged to the latter until the formation of the Borough of Halton. Since then it has become part of the county of Cheshire.
Widnes is represented in sport primarily by Widnes Vikings, who play rugby league. They were founded in 1875 and play their home games at the Halton Stadium, which is shared by Widnes Football Club, who were founded in 2003.
Spice Girls member Mel C was brought up in Widnes.
