The Little Face at The Window

IF you are ever in Queens Gardens, Palmyra Square, make a point of looking up at the Springfield Street Post Office top floor window on the right. A window which over seven decades ago caused a lot of interest in Warrington. It all started when a lady happened to look up and see what appeared to be either a little old woman or a child - waving to her. She reported the incident to the manager who after investigation told the lady that the room was empty and was only used for storage.
 But the lady insisted she had seen a person in that room. The year was 1920.
The face at the window was seen on many occasions after this but the most interesting report was when at least 20 people saw the face on Walking Day morning 1929. A contingent of walkers from Friars Green Sunday School making their way to Bank Park looked up and saw what they thought was an old woman. The vicar said it was a little girl. Again the incident was investigated but the management said it was impossible as the department was locked.
Whether it was an old woman or a little girl, this is certainly one Warrington mystery without any clue as to who she was, but there must surely be an explanation somewhere?

Another Warrington mystery
For the ghost busters to unhide
Was it the face of a woman?
Or was it the face of a child.?
Have you seen it.?
