St.Helens is an old industrial centre lying to the edge of the urban sprawl of Merseyside.
In the 18th century the town gained a reputation for its production of glass, as is demonstrated by the large Pilkington Glass Museum which displays both English and Continental examples of this centuries old craft. The museum houses some of the finest glass in the world, and traces its history from the Egyptians to the present day.
