The fish market THIS week in Yester Years we look back to the history of one of the town’s markets – the former fish market – which enjoyed its renaissance 40 years ago. This picture from the 1970s shows shoppers looking for fresh fish and cheese which was among the items on sale. Originally built as an open shed adjoining a covered hall, it was designed by Stevens as part of an early regeneration of the area in the mid-1850s. It is one of the structures to feature in a book by the town’s heritage boss, Janice Hayes, called Warrington in 50 Buildings.

This month the former Woolston High School student talks about Rivfest, Warrington’s next Young Trader events, pubs reopening as part of Covid ‘roadmap’ and why music festivals need more government support. I DON’T know about you, but the feeling of publicly being able to go back inside – out of the awful weather we’ve been having this past week or so – for a pint with friends and loved ones feels like it hasn’t hasn’t come a day too soon. This third lockdown has certainly felt like the hardest, so it is great to see hospitality and entertainment venues re-opening.
