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. 👇 SUBSCRIBE TO 4K EXPLORER FOR NEW VIDEOS EVERY WEEK 👇 https://www.youtube.com/4KExplorer?su...
