I’m back in the midst of the wonderful St Helens to settle some unfinished business.

Thoroughly enjoyed that. I'm new to your channel, and the last 2 vids I've watched are the stretford one, where I currently live, and the st Helens one, where I grew up. Fancy that.
Cracking vlog keiran as always. 🙏👍
..The Warrington bus yu rode on was one of the narrow style. They were narrower than standard for that time design so that they could fit two abreast in the narrow bit of Sankey Street. (by Holy Trinity Church).

Another belter! Twinkle twinkle little Parr 😂
Absolutely superb Keiran! Things I just discovered about my home town.
Another enjoyable video thank you I always wanted to visit the bus museum now I've seen it..thank you again…
I thought that you were stalking Elvis at 6:40. LOL
Great Bimble as usual.
I live in St Helens and always wondered when you would visit the Quaker meeting house.. Great Bimble…
There's a point in the video where you see me trundling to work. I remember remarking to myself that I thought it was you on your bike.
was on that very same route from Newton to Parr to visit relatives on Hargreaves St in 2015. Never heard it called Parrcelona tho fitting in some ways and then not. The Green belt at around 3:56 used to be a railway cutting we used to play in as kids. A considerable number of my relatives were christened, married and buried in St Peters in Parr. The green belt at 6:28 used to be the St Helens to Lowton Cheshire Lines passing through Ashton and Haydock. Thanks for the info on the Gerrards of Ashton, they somehow balanced being in favour and being Catholic. Except for the Gerrard involved in the Gunpowder Plot who legged it to Rome and wrote an excellent book about his escape from the Tower of London.
Excellent stuff – I’ll have to have a mooch around the transport museum after watching this I think
That Warrington bus brings back some memories. I can just about remember when these were still used as the Westy bus every day in the mid-70s when they were on their last legs as daily buses, and I went to Our Lady's school in Latchford and every Thursday morning we would get one of them to the old swimming baths on Legh St for swimming lessons.
Heard you with Tony Snell. Watched everything since! Brilliant
Lovely bimble. St Peter's is one of a few churches that make use of copper slag as a building material (the black stuff), something pretty much unique to St Helens. Copper was used to give glassware a green tinge.
All the best for the upcoming shows pal. ❤
Them Blackpool trams get everywhere theres even one in San Francisco
Great vlog as always very interesting 😊
Lots of people buried in the grounds, some of interest in the industrial growth of St Helens, such as the likes of Jean-Baptiste Francois Graux, and others of interest in a social history context, such as John ‘Johnny Welly’ Smith. Both worth a search.
