WE have been looking back in our archives for some of the best pictures of Warrington.
This week, we go back to the 1960s when the Rolling Stones came to the Parr Hall, Pele and the Brazil team stayed in Lymm and you could drive up Bridge Street and across Market Gate in the town centre.
Check our some of our favourite images from the swinging Sixties.
