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.

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.

Widnes Waterfront, The Hive
The Hive is a new leisure/entertainment complex on a former industrial site at the Widnes Waterfront development.
The Widnes Waterfront Regeneration Programme was developed to transform over 300 acres of former chemical works on the north bank of the River Mersey into a mixed use area, providing a place for businesses to locate and for people to enjoy. The programme began in 2002 using European and UK Government funding and has since attracted further private sector investment.

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.
