Hi Gaz.
Thanks for the comment, the videos were originally to show all the old pubs in St Helens and the state of them now.
The Counting House was originally the Nat West Bank but I could have put it in the final video if I had thought just to make up time ;o)

@SolaRainbow Thanks for the thanks :)
I decided to grab pictures of all the pubs that were still open last year because as it's going there'll be none left soon.
We have a pubs list over at
sthelens-connect
that members can view and add comment too.
We are also on the lookout for any old pictures of St Helens in general.
Pop in and have a browse :)
(I can't post the full URL but you get the idea.

If anyone else want to see the Travelers you need to go to photobucket and search for "st helens pubs" ...
