History of Warrington
•
Daniel Gooch and Liam McGrath
A podcast guide to the history and heritage of Warrington.
Warrington is not usually on the tourist trail but nevertheless boasts abundant history:
- A key river crossing point leading to the town being a key location in the English Civil war
- The centre of many industries which have left a legacy on the Warrington skyline
- The location of early innovations in water and rail transport
- Home of a famous horse
- A town greatly expanded in the twentieth century, but with an architecturally rich Victorian core
