Windle is a civil parish on the eastern side of St Helens, in Merseyside, historically part of Lancashire. It sits just east of the town centre, neighbouring communities such as Rainhill and Thatto Heath, and forms a mainly suburban pocket with traces of older village and farmland character.
The area was shaped by the wider industrial story of the borough - coal mining and glassmaking left their mark - but today it is largely residential with local shops, churches and green spaces, a mix of Victorian and post‑war housing, and an active parish community. Practical links by road and rail make it convenient for travel into Liverpool and Manchester, while local history and long‑standing social ties give it a distinct neighbourhood feel.
