Widnes is a fantastic place without a doubt ,and the most friendly people you will meet ,I moved here 20 years ago best move ever made , it is a fantastic place
Widnes Lancashire..the Mersey is the historic boundary between Cheshire and Lancashire..Widnes got lumped into Cheshire because of the formation of Halton but most folk in Widnes class themselves as Lancastrians
You've not done Widnes justice here mate. Its got a good market and all them shops are all open every day bar Sundays and Tuesdays 😊 should go back its a nice place!
Black smoke never billowed from the power station and those 'chimneys' only ever emitted steam, same as any other power station. You also managed to miss out the new half of the town centre where everybody goes. Not a great vid if I'm to be honest.
I used to live in Frodsham, we used to shop in Widnes. What a shame such a nice old town is now dying. Fiddlers Ferry was always visible in the sky as the steam from those cooling towers condensed into the sky. I guess they will blow them up with tnt soon. I have to admit, East Devon, my new home is a lot prettier than Runcorn/Widnes. Good video Maccman.
You missed quite a few shops and especially the widnes market.. you should of gone to the end of the shopping park and turned right.. there is a number of big named businesses...
What a hatchet job - you began at the top of Albert Road and stopped halfway down Widnes Road, failing to venture towards the old Town Hall. You obviously came to do this video with preconceived ideas about the town and frankly - that is not a good starting point. Many shops empty..wow….just about every town in the country has this problem, so why is it such a shock to you? You made your video before 10am knowing the streets would not be busy, if that suits your narrative about Widnes - then fine. Why didn’t you visit Victoria Park or the Widnes Vikings rugby league ground? Pex Hill? As I said - you did a hatchet job on Widnes that does not give you much credibility as a vlogger. Nothing wrong with Widnes in the grand scheme of things, sure - things could better just like in Warrington, St Helens or any other town in that region or any other region for that matter. I was expecting a good and fair minded video when I came across your vlog, but sad to say…this is anything but that 😢
It seems that almost every town you feature is just empty shop units and depressing signs of decay... your documenting 15 years of Conservative Government and it's a crying shame.
I watch old episodes of Crimewatch UK. I love to hear all the place names. Sadly, Vera Anderson was murdered on the grounds of the old tannery, now knocked down. This murder remains unsolved. You could make a video just reading UK place names, with maps as the visuals, and I think people would listen and watch.

Totally agree on both on both comments.
Your the chemtrail king every town you visit just look up and see the sprayed skys.
You needed to walk past Wilko to find the shopping park shops. The market is also lively when it’s open.
Looks nice round there

Widnes is not in Cheshire!
Widnes is an industrial town in the Borough of Halton, Cheshire, England-taken from wikipedia.
Wikipedia must be true then!

Cheers Alan, I'll pay Widnes another visit.

Spot on Mark, and yep it's heartbreaking 😞
You can buy everything you need online these days.

PS...Widnes needs more bakeries, butcher shops & green grocers.
But they probably can't compete with ASDA etc?
