I was born and grew up in Lymm in 1946, and Warrington was our market day out. I remember the cheese stall in particular, and opposite the back entrance to the meat and fish market, there was a wooden clogmaker and also the most wonderful coffee and tea importers complete with brass scales and mahogany counter. My mother bought yards and yards of material from the indoor market nearby and made nearly all my clothes with it. The other slide which really brought back memories is the one of Warrington baths where, from the age of 11, I went every Saturday to the Ladies Plunge Pool and taught myself to swim. Thank you so much for this slideshow algy B!

A great slide show. I grew up in Warrington and lived there from 1944 to 1966 so I recognised many of the shops, buildings and street names.

I was born in Warrington. After getting myself in trouble, I was sent to borstal in the late 1960s, I never returned. Been back a few times - sadly it as changed so much.

Thanks for making the effort to create this. The slideshow spans a period well before I was born to sometime possibly in my early teens

I remember the Packet House as a great pub back in the 70s...they used to feature a jazz quartet called Back Door back then. On to The Feathers and Bill Medland's Lion Hotel for some rock blues, and then on to The Carlton. Watch United on Saturday and The Mighty Wire on Sunday? A great weekend.

I was born here, lived in Appleton till I was 21, and it's now 50 years on from then. Watched the Wire with my Dad, used the Mulberry Tree in Stockton Heath for donkey's years.
