St Helens
St Helens is a large town in Merseyside, England. It is the largest settlement of the Metropolitan Bvvvof St Helens with a population of just over 100,000, part of an urban area with a total population of 176,843 at the time of the 2001 Census. Historically a part of Lancashire, the area grew during the 18th and 19th century as a significant centre for coal mining, and glassmaking. Both prior and during this time it was also home to a cotton and linen industry (notably sail making) that lasted until the mid 19th century as well as salt, lime and alkali pits, copper smelting, and brewing. The town and borough is notable for being the site of the first fully man made canal opened in autumn 1757, and also the first competition for steam locomotives, in Rainhill Trials. Today, St Helens is very much a commercial town. The overall physical appearance of St Helens has improved markedly in recent years. There are fewer real "grot spots", and the look and feel of key gateways and corridors into the Borough are much enhanced. The development of an iconic new St Helens Central train station is now completed, along with the provision of an improved park and ride service for commuters.
