 | | Warrington, the United Kingdom’s third biggest town (as opposed to city), is a town and borough in North West England, between Manchester and Liverpool. |
 | | Warrington has grown rapidly in modern times (it was part of the Warrington-Runcorn New Town) and is seeking city status, and to that end it has developed a cultural quarter centred on Palmyra Square. |
 | | By the 1890s, when Warrington acquired county borough status on reaching a population of 75,000, it was a centre of steel (particularly wire), textiles, brewing, tanning and chemical industries. |
