Favourite Building in Northwich, Cheshire*

Art deco, contemporary, futuristic, tall, short...

You can tell us more about Northwich.

• sublime sub and salad bar, market street, at last someones been bold and added colour to the town
• There school in Kingsmead is a pretty cool modern building that's all timber. The rest of the estate are awful "fake old cottage" typical new houses! When will we stop building chintz and get a bit of modern design on the go!
• Sandiway library - many an hour spent in there on the pretence of doing homework!
• The train station its a means of escape
• witton chimes

• The Job Centre - Two thumbs up!
• The old tudor-style buildings in the Bull ring
• Woolworths. To be more specific, the Pick n' Mix section.
• OCTEL!!! Fucking Rally Track
• barnton cricket club
• courts it is wrong and immature to piss off the workers but its damn funny
• The new school in Kingsmead is cool, unlike the anonymous fake-cottage shit of the rest of Kingsmead. The chunky old concrete police station has a certain 'brutalist cool' about it. It's being done up with modern glazing & looks quite good. Most people will hate it, but I've got a degree in architecture, so fuck all y'all!

• Northwich train station
• Northwich train station
• sir john deanes the bowling green
• one of the ones out of it
• All of the factories in Winnington and Wallerscote, now sadly disappearing. Living in Barnton, I grew up with these on my doorstep and somehow that mixture of living so close to the countryside (Little Leigh and beyond) and yet so close to this bizarre industrial sprawl that seemed to have no discernible reason for existing (what do they DO there?) has had a long lasting effect on my appreciation of life and all it has to offer. After I had moved away, new friends visiting for the first time were wont to say "NOW we know why he is the way he is...." upon witnessing this unique geography for the first time. Quite what they meant I'm yet to fathom. And then there are the canals and tunnels, and the Anderton Lift. Demolished buildings I already miss: Barnton Primary School, all of the houses balanced precariously up Barnton Hill before the bridge, Marbury Hall, The Gasometer in Northwich itself, The Old Market Hall, ICI Main offices in Winnington, Platt's farmhouse on Runcorn Road in Barnton...
