algy Posted August 19, 2013 Report Share Posted August 19, 2013 Another video by the same chap who made the town centre video, I presume he was a student at the time!. The video is 7+ minutes in duration, worth travelling the journey in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracey Bennett Posted August 20, 2013 Report Share Posted August 20, 2013 That was fantastic! Pity it didn't carry on a bit longer and get to Fearnhead Lane! I used to work at Ceeco on Padgate Lane and in the King and Queen around this time. My Dad also used to work at the Mobil garage opposite Ceeco. Fantastic to see the area as I remember it. And just how long did it take that women to get on the bus on Manchester Road? What was she doing? Paying in pennies?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davy51 Posted August 20, 2013 Report Share Posted August 20, 2013 Weren't the roads quiet ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracey Bennett Posted August 20, 2013 Report Share Posted August 20, 2013 Weren't the roads quiet ? I was learning to drive around that time in those traffic levels. Moved to Norfolk in 2000, a county with no motorways, only 2 dual carriageways and my town has only 1 set of traffic lights! Warrington traffic these days scares me to death Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demelzadoe Posted August 22, 2013 Report Share Posted August 22, 2013 Are there any more of these bus rides on line? Mum is 92 now and I'm always looking for Warrington stuff to show her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
algy Posted August 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2013 Demel, I have searched for bud rides for your mum , but no success, certainly not old bus rides, sorry!. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted August 22, 2013 Report Share Posted August 22, 2013 Demelzadoe, has you mum seen the 'Warrington Peeps in the Past' films that Algy uploaded a while ago ? They are wonderful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demelzadoe Posted August 23, 2013 Report Share Posted August 23, 2013 Thanks guys, I have shown her the Warrington Peeps a couple of times, and will show her again. I'm always looking for things to show her now that she is no longer mobile. I was a bit disappointed in the Walking Day stuff this year. There didn't seem to be as much as other years.

Dizzy Posted August 23, 2013 Report Share Posted August 23, 2013 I forgot to mention that Warrington Museum have a e-book called 'When the Siren Sounds' which is quite good if your mum's not already seen it. It's local people's memories of WW2. You don't have to download it or anything it just opens from this link http://www.warringtonmuseum.co.uk/files/2012/12/When%20the%20Siren%20Sounds.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
