Do you remember when this was a KFC?
Located on the corner of Winwick Street, not far from Central Station, I remember this as being a KFC (maybe around 20 years ago). People in the comments mention it being a chippy back in the 70s and a hairdressers after it was a KFC.
What sort of business would work here? Let us know in the comments on Instagram.

Warrington Wolves’ new kits launched

Warrington Wolves have revealed their 2026 home and away kits to mark 150 years of the club.
The home shirt brings back primrose and blue stripes with a white collar, while the away kit nods to 1876 with scarlet and black vertical stripes. Both feature a special anniversary badge. Fans are split, some love the throwback look, others aren’t sure about the new design.
What do you think to the new kits? |

Thanks 👍️
Thanks for reading The Warrington Scoop today.
If you found this useful, share it with someone who doesn’t know the difference between rugby league and rugby union (theres a big difference….. League is better haha).
Catch you on Friday.
Mike
