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.

@turbineman40 The name of the sponge cake refers to the old nursery rhyme about the Bells of St Clement's and means that it should be flavoured with orange and lemon. This was but only just enough to notice, not enough to really enjoy.
Oranges and lemons, Say the bells of St. Clement's.
You owe me five farthings, Say the bells of St. Martin's.
When will you pay me? Say the bells at Old Bailey.
When I grow rich, Say the bells at Shoreditch.
When will that be? Say the bells of Stepney.
I do not know, Says the great bell at Bow.
