About

Broad Oak is a residential neighbourhood in the borough of St. Helens, centred on Broad Oak Road, the street that gives the area its name. Housing here ranges from terraced streets to semi-detached homes, with small parades of shops and takeaways serving day-to-day needs. The layout includes pocket greens and allotment plots that back onto residential streets, and a network of local footpaths that link to nearby lanes. Local bus services connect the area with St. Helens town centre and surrounding suburbs, making local shops and services within a short ride of most homes.

Community life is organised around a primary school, a community hall and sports pitches used by amateur teams and clubs. Weekly activities and seasonal events at the hall bring neighbours together, while volunteers maintain roadside planting and the allotments. On older maps the name Broad Oak appears at the junction that remains the neighbourhood’s informal centre, a reminder of the area’s development over the last century and its role as a settled residential quarter within St. Helens.
