Packet House

 

Picture source: John Hillier-Smyth


The Packet House was situated on the corner of Bridge Street and Mersey Street. This was an extremely busy pub, known by everybody in Warrington. The last landlady, Mrs Ethel Smith, retired in Summer 1976 after many years. Greenalls then decided to turn it into a 'fun pub'. It was a failure and unsuccessfully changed names several times over the next few years, but could never match the popularity of the old Packet House. It eventually closed down and now stands derelict. The building is for sale as a possible office site.
