About

Edge Hill is a residential area located just east of Liverpool city centre. The ward is characterised by a mix of Victorian and Edwardian terraced housing, alongside more modern social housing developments. It is a densely populated urban district with several local schools, shops, and community centres serving its residents. The area functions primarily as a neighbourhood for people working in the city centre and the nearby university and hospital districts.

The landscape is notably hilly, with streets offering views across the city. The historic Edge Hill railway station, a terminus of the world's first inter-city passenger railway, is situated here, though it is now a quiet, single-platform stop. The area is also home to the large Newsham Park, which provides green space with a boating lake and historic buildings. Transport links into the city centre are frequent via major bus routes along Smithdown Road and Wavertree Road.
