WE all know Warrington has changed radically in the past half century.

But these remarkable images show just how significantly.

From Bridge Street to the Town Hall, Burtonwood to St Elphin's, the Warrington of today looks very different to that of the past.

See how many places you can spot and check out the differences from these pictures.

The modern day ones have been taken by Ian Park, Warrington Guardian photographer, from a helicopter.

The black and whites are from the new Britain From Above website.

Backed by English Heritage, The Britain from Above website features images from the Aerofilms collection, a unique aerial photographic archive of international importance.
