Very useful post office if you want to avoid the main post office and entering town. The post…read moreoffice is situatd inside a building with the post side on the left upon entering and the other side being a convenience store and off licence. It is never to busy and there is usually enough parking outside. I now use this post office as my local on Grange Road was recently closed down. Whilst the staff here are helpful and friendly I feel as if I was spoilt at Grange Road as they went the extra distance for you.

The centre is based within the Gamble Building which also has a public library and art gallery on other floors. The history and archives section has many popular resources steeped in history that include local newspapers, Parish registers and photographs. In addition, they have a wide range of other material as well as that of a purely genealogical nature. All information can be accessed through card indices, calendars, bibliographies and information files in the Search Room. There are also friendly and knowledgeable staff available to assist. This library is ideal for anyone wishing to research St. Helens past, whether you wish to trace your family tree or just to have a browse at some interesting archives.

This is a good little post office. I've never had to wait in a long queue here which is always a…read moreplus! The staff are pretty helpful, and you will find a small amount of card, stationary, and gift items for sale. It's small, but I think that generally speaking smaller post offices are better!

Ian is particularly helpful and is an absolute asset to Winsford Library. My son enjoys the childrens area and the range of books and videos is great.

On Monday morning the queues can get long, even out the door but on Fridays or weekday afternoons…read moreit can be almost empty. The staff know what they are doing and people go through quite quickly but it is the only Post Office in the area so it can get busy. There is a chemist/pharmacy in the same building so it's useful if you have prescriptions to fulfil as well as needing to post letters/parcels. You can send by DPD or Evri as well as Royal Mail. You can buy your postage from eBay and just drop it off and get a certificate of posting at the same time.

I like this post office for the most part because it's handy, friendly, and the people who work…read morehere definitely know what they are doing. They also have a fairly decent supply of mailing materials such as jiffy bags, etc, and a good variety of greeting cards including some humorous ones. Nothing major, and nothing you won't find at other post offices, but it's useful to have it there. The only thing I don't like is that if you time your visit wrong, you will have a long wait because this is the only post office in the area.

I like this post office. It's probably the one I frequent the most besides the Liverpool One PO. We…read moreusually shop in the Asda in Liscard, and our vet is close to here as well, so its' really convenient. The staff here are really good. They always seem to have a smile for you and definitely know what they are doing. (Nothing worse than PO staff who don't seem to know much ...) They have a fairly good selection of stationary items and cards compared with a lot of other smaller post offices. Highly recommended. :)

I believe this post office is under new ownership. The shop…read morepart has been re-organised and has a useful array of stationery, cards etc. There is relatively easy parking outside and I have always found the staff to be most helpful and knowledgable.

Chester Library is spread over three floors, the ground floor holds all of the fiction along with…read morethe DVDs and computer games, the lower floor houses the children's books and reference and the top floor has computer access (which you have to queue for) more reference and newspapers. The staff are friendly and helpful although there can be quite long queues at peak times as there isnt much room for lots of servers at the counter. The book selection is ok although I have found that a lot of the books I would like to borrow are stored at the central warehouse and would require a 75p charge to order them. I think the libary could arrange stock rotation more frequently. They do have some shelves of recently returned and popular fiction which is the best way to find a decent book quickly or discover a title you didnt know existed. The DVDs and games are expensive to borrow, well at least as compared to the books. The online renewal system works very well so if you are a slow reader or if yo like to borrow several titles in one go then this saves you a journey as you can log on and reserve and renew books from anywhere with an internet connection.

They also have a loyalty scheme, after borrowing a set number of DVDs you get a loan for free. The library is well stocked and the different sections are clearly marked.
