But if there WAS to be any clean air at all to be found in St.Helens, it would have been up there around Rainford Road - well at least BEFORE the Crematorium was built and the East Lancs Road got to be as busy as a proper motorway! When that school was built, I bet Rainford Road was positively 'rural countryside'.

I expect the Crematorium was built either on farm land or land belonging to Windle Grange. On the other side, there was the large expanse of the Parish Church field which reached as far as Queens Drive, Windle. I seem to remember a farm in Rainford Road as well, on that side. Behind the Hamblett site was the cemetery, stretching as far as the New Road, beyond which was more farm land and a sparsely-populated Moss Bank. As you say, probably the best choice of location.
