There were definitely no prisons in St Helens,  they may have been put in the lock-up   Police Cells but that would be all.

The Welsh Chapel was built by my ancestors, and the Parys copper works, amongst others came to the town.


The Tontine Street Weslyan Chapel and churchyard was demolished and the bones in the grave moved during the re-development of the town centre some years ago.
