Sankey Roundabout
A large roundabout on the A57 on the western side of Warrington town centre. It is large enough to make it impossible to capture all of it in one image.

The ghost of an MG, Warrington
A different MG, this one sits in a state of advanced disrepair at the edge of the Mersey, its innards gutted beyond (I would imagine) repair.

Rusting MG, Warrington
On the back of a trailer by the side of the Mersey, an MG displays all its original beauty in the face of erosion and decay. Which is nice.

PQ Corporation, Warrington
Seen from near Lidl, this is part of the large chemical works owned by PQ Corporation that was formerly Unilever and was initially Joseph Crosfield. The works makes ingredients for detergents and toothpastes, particularly silicas. Amazingly, part of the site is traversed by the Mersey Way but photography is prohibited in the site. The site also contains a derelict transporter bridge dating to 1916 that is a Scheduled Ancient Monument and Grade II Listed.
The more recent ownership history from a fellow contributor is: - The site had been part of Unilever but was sold to ICI in 1999, who then sold it to INEOS 2 years later as part of the slow break-up of ICI. INEOS was merged into PQ Corporation in 2008.
