The "Dream" is a 20 metre high sculpture which is located on the former site of the Sutton Manor Coal Colliery in St Helens. It is visible from the M62 between junctions 7 & 8 and was hoped to become a powerful symbol of the North West akin to Anthony Gormley's Angel of the North located in Gateshead.

'The Wheatsheaf' is a public house and restaurant situated in St Helens, Merseyside. The unique building contains a number of individual rooms both in the bar and restaurant, these are perfect for family occasions. (For example, weddings, funerals and birthdays) The polished exterior accenuates the distinguished ornate decor of the building. The unusual yet traditional theme extends from the homely and quaint restaurant, to the sport filled bar containing legendary rugby and football shirts.

The Sutton Mill Dam in Sutton, St Helens is a 26 acre wildlife nature park with its own lake, which measures 360 metres in length, situated between Clock Face Road, Leach Lane and Mill Lane. The lake is formed from the Pendlebury Brook which enters Sutton Mill Dam after flowing under Clock Face Road. The water exits the Mill Dam as the Sutton Brook (some old maps call it Sutton Mill Brook) via an impressive waterfall over a dozen stone steps and then navigates by the Wheatsheaf pub before flowing underneath Mill Lane as it journeys into St Helens town centre and the St Helens / Sankey Canal.

The small lake is not only beautiful to look at. The reeds also provide a habitat for various small animals such as the water vole. Nesting boxes for barn owls have been installed in the park by the Forest Commission. Both the small animals in the grass and the water voles in the reeds are good prey for the owls. https://www.suttonbeauty.org.uk/manorwoodlands/
