Behind the wall, bottom left corner, was where the gent's public urinals were situated,before you went over the railway bridge, nearly opposite St Mary's Church.

Far building, bottom left corner, would have been the accommodation block for the over night stay of railway employees.

I'm practically certain A.B. that in the forties, and fifties, it was a "Walker's Warrington Ales" Pub.

They did serve a good pint in the 1960's.
