| .......are Warrington called 'Wire'??
I'm serious.
'Wire'???
Does it stand for something?
Do they make Wire in Warrington?
Does it stand for 'Women In Rural Enterprises'?
Is your local slang for a Wolf actually 'Wire'?

| Quote: "Warrington was a centre of steel (particularly wire), textiles, brewing, tanning and chemical industries.
Heavy industry declined in the 1970s and 1980s but the growth of the new town around Warrington led to a great increase in employment in light industry, distribution and technology.'"

Warrington was at one time the centre for the wire manufacturing industry, particularly steel wire, in the UK and for that matter the rest of the world too.
Many of the Standards were established in Warrington ie, Standard Wire Gauge or SWG.
Companies Like Rylands, White Cross, Lockers etc led the world.
Also many of the Strand formations were developed in Warrington (different ways of stranding wires together). Even today in rope making many of the strands came out of Warrington.
In fact there is a single strand formation still know as "Warrington Strand".
At rugby matches at Wilderspool large %s of the crowd were "wire pullers"
hence the name.

Where now a large % of the crowd at the HJ when we get beat are "Willie Pullers"   |

Great stuff. You learn something everyday!
For those with a keen interest in wire ropes and stranding the Warrington strand features far thinner wires in the outer wire circle than a Seale strand. This makes for a marked reduction in flexural stress. During fatigue bending tests on round grooves, ropes made of Warrington strands with a 1-6-6+6 construction achieve around a 20-40% longer service life than comparable ropes made using Sealestrands. Ropes made from Warrington strands are used in traction elevators with double-wrap drives and in roped hydraulic elevators. Consequently, both Seale and Warrington are encountered as strand constructions for elevator ropes in countries such as Germany and the U.K

I was an apprentice with Rylands when it was owned by British Steel in the early 70's. They didn't just make wire but also wire products. It had the biggest nail factory in Europe. "Rynails" were known worldwide.
The only wire player I can remember working for Rylands was Mike Peers who worked in the stores in the "Sixpenny" building on Battersby Lane.

I left Rylands in 1975 so I can't remeber Bob Eccles working at Rylands. But I can remember him from my days living in Culcheth & him drinking in Harrow Inn. |
