When St Helens was a beautiful town.

I spent 57 of my 81 years living in or around Sintelins so many of the places shown are familiar to me. I attended Windlehurst Primary (1945-51) and Cowley GS (1952-7)and worked for my families business Len Beaman Ltd from 1963-83.

What a fabulous look back at St Helens. I was born here in 1957 and remember so clearly those wonderful old buildings markets and parks. Visiting again a few years ago I was horrified to see what destruction has taken place, sadly like a lot of old Lancashire towns the heart has been ripped out and replaced with what exactly I find hard to describe.

We were born the same year,and like you ever time I visit I'm amazed at how little investment the council attracts.

Loved it, I remember some old buildings, not old enough to remember most of them, wish this town was still the same as it was then

We lived on Clinkham Wood estate & I bussed to Windlehurst School so I never saw the town. Interesting though, & I love the accompanying music.

Wish i could see for real what my nan told me they were too poor for dr never mind cameras her father was an alcoholic and drank his wages away my great grandmother died age 34 giving birth to her 11th child then the drunken pig got another slut pregnant and my nan was the eldest and expected to be mother to 11 kids she ran away from home to southport where I live now abd its hell due to leaving Europe no food on the shelf CONSERVATIVE AGAIN

7:07 I think that’s Ormskirk St and the corner building on the right is my family’s medical practice that we had for 3 generations Dr Fox, Dr Denis O’ Donovan and Dr Barry O’Donovan

@margaretduvall9630 3 жыл бұрын

Yes, I remember the O’Donovan doctors well as they were my GP’s from being a child 1947 onward. Also in the same surgery were Dr’s Coffey, Burrell and Mather. The receptionist was another family member of yours, a Miss O’Donovan - very efficient, yet kind at heart I found.
