Newton-Le-Willows seemed a bit strange when I attended a company meeting there in the '90's. Overnight accomodation had been arranged, which was OK, but finding the venue for the meeting was challenging. The whole area seemed to be one huge industrial estate. We never went there again. I think the town was famous for a large factory manufacturing railway locomotives, but not much else.
We told a few jokes at the meeting but I can't remember them now. They would probably be deemed offensive in these strange times anyway.
