Widnes is an industrial town in the unitary authority of Halton and the ceremonial county of Cheshire in Northwest England. Historically in Lancashire, Widnes is on the northern bank of the River Mersey where the estuary narrows to form the Runcorn Gap. Directly to the south across the Mersey is the town of Runcorn. Upstream and 8 miles (13 km) to the east is the town of Warrington, and downstream to the west is Speke, part of the city of Liverpool.
Before the Industrial Revolution Widnes was made up of small settlements on marsh and moorland. In 1847, the first chemical factory was established and the town rapidly became a major centre of the chemical industry. The demand for labour was met by large-scale immigration from Ireland, Poland, Lithuania and Wales.
Widnes and Hough Green railway stations are on the Liverpool to Manchester line. The main roads through the town are the A557 in a north–south direction and the A562 east–west. The disused Sankey Canal terminates in an area known as Spike Island.
Widnes is situated on the north bank of the River Mersey. The whole town is low-lying with some slightly higher areas in Farnworth and Appleton. To the south of the town a spur projecting into the river forms the West Bank area of Widnes; together with a spur projecting northwards from Runcorn these form Runcorn Gap, a narrowing of the River Mersey.
As a town with a relatively short history, Widnes has few historical sites. However, reclamation of chemical factory sites and areas formerly polluted with chemical waste has given opportunities for developments. These include Victoria Promenade at West Bank, alongside the River Mersey, and Spike Island, now cleared of industry, which forms an open recreation area leading to footpaths along the former towpath of the Sankey Canal. Adjacent to Spike Island occupying John Hutchinson's former Tower Building is the Catalyst Science Discovery Centre.
Much of the architecture of the town is undistinguished but there are a number of listed buildings, many of them in the more outlying areas but some are scattered throughout the town. The listed churches are the Anglican churches of St Luke's, Farnworth (and its adjacent bridewell), and St Mary's, West Bank, the Roman Catholic churches of St Michael's, St Marie's and St Bede's, and the two chapels in the cemetery. The railway stations of Widnes and Hough Green are listed, as are the former town hall and the former power house of the transporter bridge.
Widnes is on the southern route of the Liverpool to Manchester railway line. There are two stations, Hough Green and Widnes from which services are operated by Northern Rail and East Midlands Trains. The A562 road passes through Widnes linking Liverpool to the west with Penketh to the east. The A557 road passes though the town linking Runcorn to the south, via the Silver Jubilee Bridge, with the M62 motorway, some 2.5 miles (4 km) to the north.

Flight to the New Runcorn toll bridge from the Catalyst
To the New bridge
Again at Spike Island with the freestyle drone flying, the Dji Spark & the P3 pro. This one is with the Phantom 3 pro & over to scope out the new Mersey gateway bridge build. The P3 wasn't playing nice for my friend so I took a look to fix it & this was to test the flying & the range. Seems ok now & a pretty cool flight around the Runcorn coast.
Tour of Britain - Widnes
As above
Filthy Britain. Widnes Cheshire
Please Read. This roundabout leading onto Warrington Road was that bad I was shocked. Bottles, cans, paper, FULL bin bags. It was like a dump. Britain is indeed in decline. Half the people reading this probably throw their junk out of their lorry/car and think nothing of it.
Our country is stinking. Our countryside is beautiful yet we choose to have it strewn with litter and rubbish.
Makes you proud eh?
