Widnes Pop 9.
For many high streets out of town developments present a challenge. This does not seem to have been a problem in Widnes. It was decided to place such a development right next to the town centre. This bought free parking and lots of it.
Whilst the old town centre still contains it's fair share of charity shops there is room for independents and whilst taking these photos I popped in to an old fashioned cafe attached to a fish and chip shop. It was heartening to see it full and thriving.
