Step back in time in the large town of St Helens, part of the Metropolitan Borough of the same name in Merseyside, England. Named after the local chapel of ease dedicated to St Elyn and nestled six miles north of the River Mersey, St Helens is a cascade of historical significance with a population of over a 100,000. From its early managerial roles of multiple townships in the 1830s to its days of cotton work, brewing and glassmaking during the Industrial Revolution, St Helens has a colourful past.

Among its historic buildings is the Quaker Friends' Meeting House, a Grade II listed structure built in 1678. The traces of St Helens' strong Roman Catholic heritage can be seen in its connections to the De Holland and Sherdley families. This town is a place where you can feel the weight of history - from its mention in the Domesday book to its 17th century witch trials. The legacy of its industrial roots lives on with Pilkington, a renowned glass producer, being the town’s only remaining large industrial employer.
