The council generally meets at Warrington Town Hall on Sankey Street. The building was originally built in 1750 as a large house, and was formerly called Bank Hall. It was bought by the borough council in 1870 and converted into a town hall, with its grounds becoming a public park. [22]
In 1870 John Wilson-Patten, 1st Baron Winmarleigh, sold the hall to Warrington Borough Council for £9000 (equivalent to £1,090,000 in 2023), [8] and 13 acres (5.3 ha) of surrounding land for a further £15,000 (equivalent to £1,810,000 in 2023).
