Warrington
A large town in the northwest of England, Warrington has a population of around 160,000. In Roman times Warrington was a centre of industry and was founded as a bridging point for the river Mersey. During the Industrial Revolution the town was a centre for steel, textiles, tanning, and the brewing and chemical industries. The town is also home to over 10 annual carnivals and festivals, as well as "walking days", when the town centre is closed to traffic for many to take to the streets. Warrington also has one of the largest shopping centres in the North West, even given its proximity to several other major cities.
