History of Rainhill well documented. Jack Brady did a summary of the history,,available to all who is interested...not sure if Laura Rafferty has any more info or if talk is useful for individual family history research. Might be a good event for renewing old aquaintancies.

I may try to make it, can't promise.

If anybody is like me and get's lost in their own back yard, I googled and found it was a large pub with car park in front (streetview on googlemaps) quite close to St Helens RLFC and almost across the road from St Lukes Church.

For satnav the postcode is WA10 4PX.
