About

Orrell is a residential suburb situated on the eastern edge of Sefton, bordering the city of Liverpool. The area is characterised by its mix of housing, primarily consisting of interwar and post-war semi-detached and terraced homes. It functions as a commuter area with good transport links into Liverpool city centre via the A565 road and local bus services. The local infrastructure includes several primary schools and convenient access to retail parks for everyday shopping needs.

The topography is generally flat, with the Leeds and Liverpool Canal forming a distinct northern boundary, providing a route for walking and cycling. Much of the local green space is found in the form of the playing fields of St. Thomas Becket Catholic High School. Orrell is a quiet, established community where the most notable landmark is the large, modern building of the Merchant Taylors' School, a significant independent school located just within its boundaries.
