150 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK (14th - 20th FEBRUARY 1872)
This week's many stories include the Valentine's Day cards on sale in St Helens, the Warrington Road beerhouse scandal, the eleven-year-old boy that was sent to prison, the pipe-smoking boys of College Street, the meeting of the new St Helens Hare & Hounds Club, the Pilkington apprentice from Kirkland Street accused of deliberately damaging glass and the stubborn cow that refused to leave a Prescot pub.
