Pennants & Flags

The collection of pennants and flags in the St Helen’s Archive represents the exchange of mementoes between clubs and nations over a great many years. While pennants are still presented by some clubs, it is now more common for plaques to exchange hands. This collection illustrates the breadth of the connections at St Helen’s with sporting clubs across the British Isles and around the world.
