More on Warrington

Warrington was founded by the Romans as a river crossing. After the departure of the Romans, the Saxons took over the area and reestablished the settlement of Warrington. It developed into a market town by the Middle Ages, and had a homegrown tradition in producing textile and tools.

Warrington experienced rapid industrialization and urbanization during the 19th century Industrial Revolution. It became a railroad hub with vital lines running thorugh the town from north to south and east to west.

As with elsewhere in England, Warrington experienced a decline in its heavy industries from the 1970s and 80s, forcing the town to divert its focus to services and technology industries.
