IT'S a building in Warrington that some residents may be very familiar with and others would have not stepped foot in once.

But an urban explorer has provided a unique glimpse of how Warrington Magistrates' Court looks now.

Jake Parr, who is known for his YouTube and Facebook page Exploring with Jake which shares pictures and videos from abandoned buildings and old work places in the UK, shared the images after the building was used for filming Judge Rinder.

The disused building has been lying empty since magistrate hearings were moved to Warrington Crown Court three years ago.

But it's not the first time it's been popular with TV crews.

Coronation Street filmed scenes for the ITV soap in September last year.

The storyline saw Abi Franklin, played by Sally Carman, in the dock to face charges of criminal damage theft and resisting arrest at the rebranded Weatherfield Magistrates Court.

Tracey Barlow, Adam Barlow and Seb Franklin – played by Kate Ford, Sam Robertson and Harry Visinoni respectively – also featured in the scenes filmed in Warrington.
