VILLAGERS celebrated the 60th anniversary of Thelwall Rose Queen with a Heroes & Villains theme.

VILLAGERS turned out in force to celebrate the ancient tradition of Bawming the Thorn at Appleton Thorn, Warrington.

A few light showers didn’t prevent Padgate & Woolston Walking Day from returning to its former glory, with all the local churches and schools taking part.
