Few parts of nineteenth century Warrington were as industrialised as School Brow, Cockhedge and Howley but as well as factories, mills and tanneries, there were houses too: rows upon rows of cheap dilapidated working class dwellings that were home to thousands of men and women living as virtual slaves to their jobs. The School Brow of today is a very different place. Gone are the manufacturing industries and most of the old terraced housing. The Manx Arms closed its doors around 2013 and is now perilously derelict.
