About

Latchford is a residential district situated on the southern bank of the Manchester Ship Canal, directly across from Warrington town centre. The area is characterised by a mix of Victorian and Edwardian terraced housing, alongside more modern developments. Its proximity to the canal and the River Mersey defines much of its geography, with several bridges providing key connections to the north side of the town. Local amenities are concentrated along Church Street and Knutsford Road, serving the community's everyday needs.

The area is notable for the Latchford Locks, a major feature of the canal system where vessels are raised or lowered between different water levels. This industrial heritage is balanced by green spaces such as Latchford Recreation Ground. The district functions as a practical residential zone for the town, with good transport links via the A50 road and local bus routes facilitating movement in and around Warrington.
