Local area guide
Skip hire in Warrington
Warrington is a town in Cheshire, sitting on the River Mersey roughly midway between Liverpool and Manchester, with a population of around 210,000 — one of the largest towns in England without city status. It grew up at the lowest point where the Mersey could be forded, and that crossing gave it its importance from Roman times onwards. For centuries Warrington was the gateway between the north and south of England across the Mersey, and it developed as a market town with a charter from the thirteenth century.
Warrington's industrial history was unusually diverse. It was a centre for wire drawing — at one point producing a large share of Britain's wire, earning it a reputation as the wire town — along with tanning, brewing, soap making and chemicals. Crosfield's soap works, later part of Unilever, and Greenall's brewery were major employers. The Warrington Academy, founded in 1757, was one of the foremost dissenting academies in England: Joseph Priestley taught there and carried out early chemical research, and it was described as the Athens of the North.
The town's most striking architectural feature is the Golden Gates in front of the Town Hall, a set of ornate cast-iron gates originally made for Sandringham and bought by the town in 1895. The Town Hall itself, Bank Hall, is a fine Georgian mansion of 1750 by James Gibbs. Warrington Museum and Art Gallery, opened in 1848, was one of the first rate-supported public museums in Britain.
Warrington was designated a new town in 1968, and its population grew substantially as planned residential districts were built at Birchwood, Padgate and Westbrook. Birchwood, on the site of a former Royal Ordnance Factory, became one of the largest science and business parks in Britain. The town's position at the meeting of the M6, M62 and M56 has made it one of the most important logistics hubs in the north-west. Warrington Wolves, one of the oldest rugby league clubs, play at the Halliwell Jones Stadium, and the town has a strong rugby league tradition.
The town was the scene of the 1993 IRA bombing in Bridge Street, which killed two children, Johnathan Ball and Tim Parry. The tragedy led to the Tim Parry Johnathan Ball Peace Centre, established in the town to promote peace and conflict resolution. Warrington sits at the junction of three major motorways, with Warrington Bank Quay on the West Coast Main Line and Warrington Central giving services to London, Manchester and Liverpool. Housing ranges from Victorian terraces around the town centre to new town estates at Birchwood and Westbrook, and very substantial modern development on the town's edges.
