St Helens

St Helens takes its name from a chapel, which was first mentioned in 1552. It was built where the road from Ormskirk to Warrington escorts  crossed the road from Prescot to Ashton. At that time the area that is now St Helens was divided into 4 townships. They were Eccleston, Windle, Parr and Sutton. A school was held in the chapel until 1670 when a man named John Lyon left money to be built next door.

Though the area was mainly agricultural, coal mining was carried out as early as the 16th century. The town of St Helens grew up because it had readily available supplies of coal and sand for making glass and it had good communications.

St Helens also benefited from the rapid growth of Liverpool from the late 17th century onwards. Liverpool was a market by itself but it was also a convenient port for goods from St Helens.

In 1746 St Helens was connected to Prescot and Liverpool by a turnpike road. (A privately owned road that you had to pay to use). In 1753 the turnpike road was extended to Ashton. A canal called the Sankey Navigation, which was cut in 1762, improved communications further. The canal made it much easier and cheaper to take coal to Liverpool. The result was a boom in coal mining in the St Helens area.

Glass making was carried on in St Helens escorts by the early 18th century but in the late 18th century it too boomed. In 1773 The British Cast Plate Glass Manufacturers opened works in St Helens. In 1780 a copper foundry was opened in St Helens. In 1798 an iron foundry was opened in the rapidly growing town. In 1826 William Pilkington founded a glass works in St Helens.
