Selling a saree in St Helens
St Helens is the glass-making town of the north-west — the industry has been here for two centuries and the world of glass museum records it — and rugby league is central to local identity. It sits between two larger cities and shares their labour market.

The town is compact and parking is easy, which makes anything large straightforward. The central station and the town hall are the landmarks everyone knows.
