Whittle Hall

Whittle Hall is housing estate within the parish of Great Sankey in the town of Warrington, North West England. Its more exact location is in-between the old centre of Great Sankey, the new built Chapleford, and the Omega Development Site (formerly RAF Burtonwood). The area falls under the WA5 postal code. The estate consisted originally of Whittle Hall Farm and its surrounding fields, however as part of the Warrington new town development, the last 20 years have seen the fields turned into modern houses. The estate also contains Whittle Hall Community Centre and the original farm building which are now due to be demolished for a proposed redevelopment. As the estate is part of the new town development, the people who reside there are originally from all over the UK.

The estate itself contains no retail outlets. The area surrounding Sankey Station (10 minutes walk) hosts two pubs, two convenience stores, a hairdresser, a take away offering English, Chinese and pizzas, a computer shop and an independent sandwich shop. An Asda superstore is located 5 minutes drive or 45 minutes walk away at Westbrook. Gemini Retail Park (10 minutes drive) hosts a massive Marks & Spencer, the UK's first IKEA, Toys R Us, and the closest McDonald's to the estate. High Street shopping is available in the town centre at the newly refurbished Golden Square Shopping Mall.
