About

Derbyshire Hill is a residential area situated on elevated ground to the east of St. Helens town centre. The area is characterised by a mix of housing, primarily inter-war and post-war semi-detached and terraced homes, along with some modern developments. Several local schools and community facilities serve the neighbourhood. The topography provides views across the surrounding borough, with greenspaces like the nearby Taylor Park offering recreational space for residents.

The area is defined by its main thoroughfare, Derbyshire Hill Road, which connects it to broader transport networks. A notable local landmark is the former Derbyshire Hill Colliery site, a reminder of the area's historical links to the region's industrial past, though the pit itself closed in the early 20th century. Today, the landscape is predominantly residential, with local shops and services catering to daily needs.
