A Merseyside town centre has been described as 'dying' by those fighting to make a living there.
St Helens was once a town of booming industry, and a walk through the town centre would reflect this. Shoppers could be seen swarming the streets, as swathes of people would come into the town via bus and train to shop, eat and drink.
However, the last couple of decades has seen all of this change. As the high street slowly fizzled out, along with St Helens' perceived failure to modernise- the town centre once full of life, now more closely resembles a ghost town.
