Talk:St Helens

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] confusion

Totally illogical regarding the dating of the name St Helens which - according to the content - did not exist as late as the 19th Century. Why?

(a) The ST HELENS Canal was built 1757
(b) In the 1830's the ST HELENS and Runcorn Gap Railway was built.

I believe this is the result of a confusion between the borough of St Helens and the town of St Helens.
