SJ6087 : The Academy

taken 12 years ago, near to Warrington, England

The Academy
The Academy
The Academy at the bottom of Bridge Street, now home to the Warrington Guardian Newspaper Offices. It was originally a teaching establishment from 1756 to 1782 when it closed but in that time, it had gained a reputation as a dissenters' institute (it opposed the state church in England). Sometime after its closure, it was moved from its original location to where it stands now. There is a statue of Oliver Cromwell outside the building. For more details see LinkExternal link
