Newton-le-willows
Newton-le-Willows is a market town in the Metropolitan Borough of St. Helens in Merseyside, England. Typically a part of Lancashire, it is situated equidistance, about 15 miles, 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 goes through the centre of Newton, which has many buildings from the Georgian period, and is an appealing residential area. The arrival of the railways in 1830 converted the town from an agricultural village into the world's first 'railway town', though places such as Crewe, Derby and Swindon promptly surpassed Newton in size and significance. The Vulcan Foundry, established in 1831, became among the world's first locomotive suppliers. Vulcan Village, developed to offer houses for the factory workers, 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 key tourist attraction for visitors from the surrounding regions, with lots of small, long established independent retailers staying despite the increased number of national retail organisations in the town.
