Buildings

The most interesting buildings are the Town Hall (formerly a private residence, Bank Hall, built in 1750), the Academy, the so-called "Cromwell's Cottage" (17th century), the 14th Century Parish Church of St Elphin, largely a Victorian rebuild with a 280-foot spire, the sixth largest in the UK, the fine row of late Victorian terracotta shops on Bridge Street, Woolworths in Sankey Street (at least the upper storeys), the Modern style Mr Smith's nightclub and the fine industrial modernist Unilever Soapworks. The impressive Cheshire Lines railway warehouse is derelict but is to be redeveloped as apartments.
