At the heart of one Merseyside borough sits a building older than the town. itself.
St Helens as we know it did not exist until the mid 19th century becoming a town in 1868. However, in the town centre, lies a building which dates back much further than this,. The Friends (Quakers) Meeting house, in Church Street, is the oldest building in the town in continual use.
The cottage-like house was built by The Quaker religious movement as a place of worship around 1679 and is an important part of the town's history and culture.
