📸 Have You Spotted This in Warrington?

If you’re ever stuck in traffic at Bridge Foot (and let’s face it, who isn’t), you’ve probably driven right past something seriously rare without realising.

Just by the junction is a red phone box—but not just any phone box. It’s a K4 kiosk, built in the 1930s with a payphone and a built-in stamp machine. It was basically the Post Office’s idea of a multitool.

Only four of these are left in the UK, and Warrington’s is now Grade II listed.

We shared a little video about it on Instagram this week—did you see it?

Poll Time: You’ve Got £100 Million to Spend on Warrington… What’s First? 🤔 

Imagine someone handed you £100 million to spend on Warrington. No rules, no red tape—just you and a giant cheque.

Where would you put the money? (no - it can’t go in your pocket 😉 ).

💪 Warrington’s Amanda Wah Reaches Gladiators Final

Warrington’s own Amanda Wah is through to the grand final of Gladiators this weekend—and she’s absolutely flying. Representing the town with strength, style, and a big smile, Amanda’s performances have been seriously impressive, and she's built up a big local fanbase along the way.

It’s been a whirlwind few weeks, and she’s taken it all in her stride. Back home at her gym, she’s now using the buzz to inspire the next generation—launching fitness classes for kids aged 6 to 16 every Saturday.

Best of luck in the final, Amanda—Warrington’s behind you all the way!
