St Helens and Its History of Major Fires
St Helens grew rapidly during the Industrial Revolution as a centre for coal mining and glassmaking. Its industrial past has also seen several major fires and incidents that highlight the importance of effective fire safety management.
The 1893 Pilkington’s Glassworks Fire
In September 1893, one of the largest fires in the town’s history
engulfed Pilkington’s Watson Street works, destroying hundreds of tons
of straw used for packaging. Fire brigades battled the blaze for hours.
The 1916 Church Fire
St Helen’s Church, originally dating back centuries, was destroyed by fire in 1916.
The current Grade II listed building was rebuilt during the 1920s.

awareness of smoke detection, evacuation procedures and fire safety compliance
across Merseyside.
