Newton-le-willows
Newton-le-Willows is a market town in the Metropolitan Borough of St. Helens in Merseyside, England. Traditionally a part of Lancashire, it is set equidistance, about 15 miles, in between the cities of Liverpool and Manchester, 4 miles to the east of St. Helens, 5 miles to the north of Warrington and 7 miles to the south of Wigan. The town is made up of four districts, Earlestown, Wargrave, Vulcan Village and the ancient Newton in Makerfield area. The A49 road passes through the centre of Newton, which has numerous structures from the Georgian period, and is an eye-catching suburb. The arrival of the railways in 1830 transformed the town from an agricultural village into the world's first 'railway town', though places such as Crewe, Derby and Swindon swiftly exceeded Newton in size and significance. The Vulcan Foundry, established in 1831, developed into one of the world's first engine manufacturers. Vulcan Village, developed to grant houses for the factory employees, is now a conservation area. Cricket is the primary sport in the town, with Newton C. C. playing in the Premier Division of the Liverpool Competition, a North West league with teams from the Eylde coast to North Wales. The main shopping street, Market Street, is pedestrianised, and other shops can be found on Bridge Street, Oxford Street, Queen Street and Earle Street. The market continues to be a primary attraction for visitors from the surrounding areas, with a lot of small, long established independent retailers remaining despite the increased number of national retail organisations in the town.
