WHERE did you hang out in Warrington as a teenager?
We asked readers and more than 300 of them shared their favourite nostalgic spots with us.
From parks to cafes to even the railway, there was certainly a variety of answers.
Here’s what you had to say:
The roller rink, St Albans Youth Club on Bewsey Road, and the Working Men’s Mission with the Purple Phantoms Marching Band.
