Widnes is an industrial town in the Borough of Halton, Cheshire, England, on the north bank of the River Mersey where it narrows at Runcorn Gap.
Buildings in England are listed by the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport on recommendations provided by English Heritage, which also determines the grading.
[2] During the second half of the 19th century, more chemical factories were built and the town grew, absorbing the previously separated hamlets.
Also built before 1847 are three houses, a bridewell adjacent to St Luke's Church, and the lock at the terminus of the Sankey Canal.
The latest structures to be listed are a war memorial in Victoria Park and the former Widnes Corporation bus depot.
