The bank that became a counting house
A rather fine old building at the top of Hardshaw Street that was formerly the Nat West Bank, then the Bank bar and most recently The Counting House pub. Looming in the background is Century House, an undistinguished office block, the home of the local Education Department at the time this picture was taken.

St Helens War Memorial Cenotaph
The cenotaph war memorial stands in front of the Town Hall, in Victoria Square. It was unveiled on Easter Sunday, 4th April 1926,
The memorial takes the form of a central obelisk made from Portland stone on a square stone dais, with a granite pedestal in each corner. On the front face is the inscription “Our Glorious Dead”. At the base is a carved laurel wreath to symbolise victory and the date 1914-1918 is also carved. One each side of the square base is a granite tablet with the Borough coat of arms, the inscription “To the everlasting Memory of the Men of the Borough who gave their lives for King and Country”, followed by the names of the fallen. The names continue on all sides and on the outer faces of the pedestals.
Originally 2270 names were recorded, more were later added to commemorate those who fell during the Second World War and in more recent conflicts.
