About St. Helens

The town was built both physically and metaphorically on coal: the original motto on the borough coat of arms was "Ex Terra Lucem" and local collieries employed up to 5,000 men as late as the 1970s, whilst during the boom years of the British coal industry ((1913 being the peak year of production with 1 million employed in UK mining)the St.Helens division of the Lancashire and Cheshire Miners' Federation (the local miners 'union) had the largest membership (10%) of that federation. Owing primarily to the abundance of winnable coal reserves, the quality of local sand, the near availability of Cheshire salt and the transport revolution -- first the Sankey Canal and then the railways fom 1830 onwards -- a glass and chemical industry was established in St Helens. The Sankey Canal was opened in 1757 to transport coal from the pits in Haydock and Parr to the River Mersey. An extension to the canal was made in 1775 linking the canal to St.Helens. In the 1830s, the St Helens and Runcorn Gap Railway was built for the same purpose.
