Sutton Brook
Sutton Brook flows throughout Sutton and ultimately into the St Helens/Sankey Canal. The brook has been in existence for hundreds of years and for many years it was the dumping ground for much industrial and chemical waste which gave rise to foul odours for which it became notorious. During the nineteenth century, it was colloquially referred to as the 'Stygian' (ie dark and dismal) Brook and in more recent times it was known to St.Helens folk as 'Stinky' brook (https://www.suttonbeauty.org.uk/beauty/suttonbrook/ Sutton Beauty).

Sutton Oak Welsh Chapel, St Helens
The Sutton Oak Welsh Chapel was built by the Wesleyan Methodists in 1845. It was constructed using cobbles made from copper slag from the copper works on the Sutton banks of the St.Helens canal. The nonconfirmist Welsh congregation acquired it in 1893, having previously occupied a room provided by a local firm - as the only way in was through a hole in the wall, this was known as “The Hole in the Wall Chapel”.
