About

Knowsley Village sits within the Metropolitan Borough of Knowsley in Merseyside, occupying the edge of the historic Knowsley estate. The village core is small, with a church, village green and a mix of older cottages and later housing clustered along narrow lanes. St Mary’s church remains a local landmark and houses Stanley family memorials that reflect the area’s long association with the Knowsley Hall estate and surrounding parkland, where avenues and open parkland are part of the local landscape.

Southdene lies to the north-east of the village and is primarily residential, made up of post-war council-built homes alongside privately owned houses. The area includes a parade of shops, a community centre and playing fields used by local teams and schools. Regular bus services link Southdene and Knowsley Village to nearby centres, and local streets give quick access to the lanes and footpaths that run into the wider Knowsley parkland.
