Widnes is a fantastic place without a doubt ,and the most friendly people you will meet ,I moved here 20 years ago best move ever made , it is a fantastic place
Black smoke never billowed from the power station and those 'chimneys' only ever emitted steam, same as any other power station. You also managed to miss out the new half of the town centre where everybody goes. Not a great vid if I'm to be honest.
You've not done Widnes justice here mate. Its got a good market and all them shops are all open every day bar Sundays and Tuesdays 😊 should go back its a nice place!
Widnes Lancashire..the Mersey is the historic boundary between Cheshire and Lancashire..Widnes got lumped into Cheshire because of the formation of Halton but most folk in Widnes class themselves as Lancastrians
I used to live in Frodsham, we used to shop in Widnes. What a shame such a nice old town is now dying. Fiddlers Ferry was always visible in the sky as the steam from those cooling towers condensed into the sky. I guess they will blow them up with tnt soon. I have to admit, East Devon, my new home is a lot prettier than Runcorn/Widnes. Good video Maccman.
I watch old episodes of Crimewatch UK. I love to hear all the place names. Sadly, Vera Anderson was murdered on the grounds of the old tannery, now knocked down. This murder remains unsolved. You could make a video just reading UK place names, with maps as the visuals, and I think people would listen and watch.
You missed quite a few shops and especially the widnes market.. you should of gone to the end of the shopping park and turned right.. there is a number of big named businesses...
It seems that almost every town you feature is just empty shop units and depressing signs of decay... your documenting 15 years of Conservative Government and it's a crying shame.
