From The Papers 📰 

Here are some stories from around the town over the past few days that are not crime or politics.

🎯 Luke Littler could be World Number One by the weekend (Warrington Worldwide)

🧑‍💻 Former Unilever factory site set to be reborn as a major Data Centre (Warrington Worldwide)

🍅 Supermarket giant makes next step to open its new store at popular retail park (Warrington Guardian)

We visited the Rabbit Hole gift shop

This week, we popped down to speak to David, who owns The Rabbit Hole gift shop in Stockton Heath, and I thought it would make a great fit for the newsletter.

This is a new business that has only been there for 8 weeks but is already proving popular with shoppers. They already have another shop that they have run for years over in Culcheth, so this one is their second shop.

They sell all sorts of gifts. I picked up some chocolates and a bath bomb for my wife but they have so many amazing gifts. I will definitely be back here before Christmas to pick up some more presents.

You can find them on the left-hand side just after you pass over the swing bridge. If you pop in, please let them know you heard about them in the Scoop!

You can find them here on Instagram and Facebook.

There will also be a little video going live on the Scoop socials later today to tell you more.

The indie legends are back at Parr Hall. There will be sing-alongs, nostalgia, and “This Is How It Feels” echoing through the crowd.

The hidden entrance to Warrington Central station you’ve probably never seen 🚆 

Last weekend I made this video about the hidden entrance to central station you’ve probably never seen. This has had over 60,000 views (so it’s content you must be enjoying), but it was really interesting to read everyone’s comments on what the building was after the station.

I didn’t know this was there myself until recently, despite living here all my life.

Check out the video below.
