Runcorn & Widnes Aerial Archives - Lynn Quigley - Bog

A selection of aerial photographs taken in the 1980s & 90s of Runcorn and Widnes in Cheshire. In the late 1970s 80s and early 90s, John and Lynn Quigley ran a busy photographic studio in Northwich, part of the commercial side of the business involved taking aerial photographs in and around the Northwest, including Runcorn & Widnes. In the mid-90s they moved to North Wales where they lived for 15 years, on returning to Cheshire in 2011, they noticed some amazing changes to the towns. They had an aerial archive of how the area once looked, so they started the process of digitising all their negatives and produced a book, 'Northwich & Winsford Aerial Archives' which proved to be very popular, so now they have produced 'Runcorn & Widnes Aerial Archives'. For people who remember Runcorn and Widnes as they were, you may experience a touch of nostalgia as you look through it - for those too young to remember and 'newcomers' to the area, you may find something of interest as you view the town's recent history.
