DJJohnny Visits Latchford - Part 7

Railways & Baptisms!
This is the seventh video in the series of short local history videos, about the Latchford area of Warrington, which is located on the south bank of the River Mersey, within the town of Warrington.
It continues to look at Wash Lane - covering the two old Latchford railway stations (on Station Road) and associated lines, before moving on to the Warrington Football Club and the Latchford Baptist Church. It also includes a brief look at how the building of the Manchester Ship Canal, in the 1890’s, has affected this part of Latchford.

Thanks also to Gordon Gandy, as well as the Latchford History Group - for their excellent booklets and information. I am also very grateful to friends on Facebook - Warrington Memories, for their invaluable information and images used, and in particular to Alan Barton, and Ray Corcoran, for their superb knowledge and pictures.
