OVER the last few weeks, we have brought you lots of nostalgic images of Warrington town centre.

So this week, we have gone back in our archives to look at Warrington in the 1970s.

It was a time were the town had a very different flavour.

Traffic still went through the town centre, the market was uncovered and cinemas were the big entertainment.

So scroll through some of our favourite images of what it was like to live in Warrington in the seventies.
