Mill Street Barracks - Saint Helens, Merseyside
Can you brave the darkness as you descend into the cellar?

Mill Street Barracks is fast becoming a haven for ghost hunters all around the country. This is not surprising when you consider the paranormal experiences that have taken place here.

The building originally dates to 1861 and was built as the headquarters for the 47th Lancashire Rifle Volunteer Corp who served as infantry in some of the bitterest fighting on the Western Front in World War I.

Over the years the barracks have evolved housing many different fighting regiments until the battery moved to more modern facilities at Jubilee Barracks, the Mill Street Barracks were decommissioned and converted for use by the Sea Cadets as the Training Ship Scimitar.
