I'm not speaking with hindsight, but I said many years ago, and as recently as 2004, the town is going down. I said that Sthelens will be just a big housing estate with Asda in the middle of it. Thanks to the worst council in living memory, we have no character, no industry and no money in reserve. Even now, looking at these nice pictures, I'd bet the labour gang still couldn't be bothered or ashamed. They've well and truly sold us down river.
Has any St. Helens local ever heard of Moorflat? I;m told that an old photo o Baldwin street and Co-oprative store at 50 second mark is aproximately where Moorflat was decades prior it would be now a police station according to google maps and old mid 19th century maps. That is where my 3x great grandparents resided in the mid 1800s.
