The Academy
The Academy at the bottom of Bridge Street, now home to the Warrington Guardian Newspaper Offices. It was originally a teaching establishment from 1756 to 1782 when it closed but in that time, it had gained a reputation as a dissenters' institute (it opposed the state church in England). Sometime after its closure, it was moved from its original location to where it stands now. There is a statue of Oliver Cromwell outside the building.

Bridge Foot, Warrington
The bridge is to the right, with the old A49 London road coming down from the left. Its junction with the A57 road from Liverpool was in the town centre. Both roads have been diverted and now meet here. Cromwell's statue stands outside the Warrington Academy building, a non-conformist university which saw scientists like Joseph Priestley through its portals. In 1981 it was moved 19 metres bodily back from its original site to create space for the new road junction.

Warrington Bridge, Warrington
Built of reinforced concrete, its rather elegant parabolic arch between lamps set on pedestals. It therefore disguises its modernity, cloaking it in the respectable veneer of classicism. Built 1911-15, the engineer John Webster.
It carries the A49 (northbound) over the River Mersey.

The Victoria Bridge
The Victoria Bridge, over the River Mersey, was opened in 1837. It's now a very busy major thoroughfare, being part of a roundabout that joins the A49 and the A5061. Because of this, it can get very congested and is well known within Warrington for that.
