I visited Warrington Museum and Art Gallery this morning and then wandered about looking for a café or teashop. Plenty of places to get coffee in the centre of Warrington but most are intent on serving all day breakfasts and similar heavy fare.
At last I stumbled across Rhode Island Coffee in the corner of Old Fish Market.
Having a pleasant but undistinguished St Clement's sponge and a similarly undistinguished large mocha.

Warrington Museum and Art Gallery is well worth a visit and like most municipal museums in the UK is free. If you visit on Sunday you can park less than 400 m in the Time Square multistorey car park all day for nothing and donate what you save to the museum.
The museum is quite compact but is well laid out and doesn't feel small. It is on three floors above the library with permanent exhibitions on the two lower floors and space on the top floor that currently houses Skye Baker's Foreign Bodies.
I'm glad her work was on the top floor and that I started on the lowest floor. Had I started with Skye's work I probably wouldn't have felt inclined to view the the rest.
Here's what you see before entering the museum proper
