Earlestown owes its development to early transport links such as the nearby Sankey Canal and the Liverpool to Manchester railway. Wagon building works were established and other industries followed, the Sankey Sugar works and the Vickers Engineering works. By the 1890s, the Earlestown area of Newton-le-Willows had outgrown the older part of the town and the market was moved to its current location in the market square and the Town Hall was erected.
