No, St Helens has become a ghost town. It used to be bustling but its been killed off. The selection of shops is poor, and the nightlife is rough.

Yeah, I heard. Some of my family-friends used to live there but ultimately moved down to Liverpool about 9 years ago. St Helens just wasn’t worth it in the end, especially considering the distance it takes to get from there to anywhere even vaguely bustling (like Liverpool, Manchester or even Wigan).

There’s a brilliant sixth-form college there (St Helens) called Carmel (Carmel College) that I was considering going to back when I was 15/16 but the fact that it was in St Helens didn’t help. The college itself is outstanding (seriously good) but the location made it easier for me to circumscribe my choice down. At that particular point it was more of a case of the fact that I couldn’t be arsed to get the ’bus to-and-fro St Helens every weekday but since then St Helens as a whole has lost the slight charm it used to have. Carmel college is literally the only good thing about it now.
