More about this scene

Much of Lancashire was affected by the Civil Wars, and Warrington, an important crossing on the Mersey and chosen by the Royalist, Lord Derby for his headquarters, saw considerable action. The Parliamentarians first took the town in 1643 and it was again the scene of fighting during the 1648 war, when Cromwell actually stayed here, his visit remembered in this statue.

Queen's Visit To Warrington
I was stationed at the Burtonwood army depot near Warrington in 1967 through to 1969. I remember taking pictures of the Queen's vehicle as they drove past me. I have four wonderful pictures of the vehicle the Queen was riding in and of the people on the street watching as the Queen drove by. You can see the advertisements on the bill boards ... a tea advertisment. I currently live in Florence, Kentucky in the USA.

The Queen's Visit.
I remember as a youngster my mum and dad talking of the Queen's forthcoming visit to Warrington and how the statue of Oliver Cromwell was to be covered so as not to upset her. They eventually moved the statue to a less visible place and the side of the Academy.

Despite over 20 years’ work on the archive, these scans have still not been individually checked and may prove to be damaged, faded, or not of sufficient quality to ever be offered in our full product range. However, if you would particularly like to buy one of these please get in touch quoting the Frith negative number,(s) the town name and size of print you would like to buy. On receipt of your enquiry our archivist will check the scan and advise you if the quality is good enough.

You can create as many Albums as you want, so perhaps make one for your hometown, where you live now, where your parents live now etc.
