Widnes Community Support Centre
Originally opened in 1899 as the town's Poor Relief Hall, after renovation it was reopened in 1990 as the Widnes Community Support Centre. There seems no indication what the present work is turning it into.

St Marie's RC Church, Lugsdale Road, Widnes
St Marie's RC Church in Lugsdale Road, Widnes is of such special architectural interest, it was listed as a Grade II building by the Secretary of State, weeks before it faced the bulldozers in 2006. The Victoria Society campaigns to save Victorian and Edwardian buildings of architectural importance and the Pugin-designed church has been placed on a national list of 10 endangered buildings.

Roadside hoarding by A557, Widnes
A new hoarding frame no doubt ready to announce an impending retail development [on the former foundry site on which it stands] to the public passing on the A557 Widnes Eastern by-pass.
In the distance, the Ditton Junction - Warrington Arpley railway bridge which carries coal trains to and from Fiddler's Ferry power station. The by-pass road is along the course of the Widnes - St Helens railway line which would have passed under the Warrington line where the road does today.
The factory in the background [actually just outside the grid square] belongs to Thermphos International B.V. and produces "speciality phosphates" of the highest order.

Passing the Town Hall, Widnes ? 1973
The Town Hall is actually behind the photographer, the building behind the bus being the Technical College. The lawns and flower beds in the foreground have been replaced by a large paved open space with no particular features.
Widnes Corporation bus 37, is a 1963 Leyland Titan PD2 with East Lancs bodywork.
This is one of a series of views featuring buses in the 60s, 70s, and 80s. http://www.geograph.org.uk/search.php?i=137652761

Vicarage Road, Widnes
This road, at the quiet southern end of Widnes town centre, is one of the town's two main bus interchanges. Unfortunately, when I visited, the bus shelters pictured lacked any information regarding which one was for which service, and which services loaded round the corner.
