About Warrington Magistrates Court
Warrington itself carries deep historical significance — founded by the Romans at a key crossing of the River Mersey, it grew into one of England's first industrialised towns and, in 1848, was the first town in the UK to open a rate-supported public library. The court building, part of the Warrington Law Courts complex on Legh Street, reflects the town's long tradition of civic administration. Today, the court serves a population of over 200,000 residents and processes hundreds of cases each week across its multiple courtrooms.
