Part 6 - Packets, Bags & Pandemics!
This is the sixth in a series of short local history videos, about the Latchford area of Warrington, which is located on the south bank of the River Mersey - within the town of Warrington.
The video looks at the Black Bear Bridge - on Knutsford Road and where the packet boats used to stop, on the Old Quay Canal. It also looks at the old Richard Fairclough School before moving on down Halloway and along Wash Lane, to see where the Plague House used to be. The video takes in a brief history of Christ church - Latchford and the old school rooms, followed by a quick look at Our Lady’s catholic primary school - which moved from St Mary Street in the 1970s.
Special thanks to Warrington Library & Museum - Culture Warrington, for their continued help and support with information and images used. Thanks to Gordon Gandy, as well as the Latchford History Group for their excellent booklets and information - including some of the images used. I am also very grateful to friends on Facebook - Warrington Memories, for their invaluable information and images. Thanks also to Heather Griffin and Mark Delahunty, for their enormous help with information on Wash Lane. Credit also to those who’s original images have been used, but couldn’t find their source. Thanks also to my wife - Liz Jane Morris for her great camera work. Finally thanks to Ian Rigby, for his continued help support and companionship in the making of these little videos, which is very much appreciated. Thanks to you all!
