About

The south-east part of Kirkby sits within the Metropolitan Borough of Knowsley in Merseyside and is mainly residential. Streets here reflect mid-20th-century expansion when housing was built to rehouse people from Liverpool, so you will find a mix of post‑war council terraces alongside later private developments. Local provision includes primary schools, community centres, small shopping parades and a health centre. The town centre and its market remain a local focus, while bus routes and Kirkby railway station provide regular links to the wider Merseyside network.

Open spaces and pocket parks are woven into the neighbourhood, with play areas and planted verges separating longer runs of housing. Community groups run activities in halls and on school sites, and the area has practical local services such as libraries and day centres. Daily life is organised around residential streets, short walking distances to local shops, and routine commuting by road and rail for work and education.
