Page Moss & Fincham

Page Moss & Fincham sit in the Metropolitan Borough of Knowsley, east of Liverpool and close to Huyton and Prescot. The place-name points to its origin as low-lying peat moss; that history is reflected in street names such as Page Moss Lane and Fincham Road. The area is mainly residential with a mix of council-built and privately owned housing, and small shopping parades and convenience stores along Prescot Road. Local primary schools and a few small business units serve daily needs without drawing on attractions further afield.

Community life centres on local halls, youth groups and parks that provide informal meeting points for residents. Bus routes along Prescot Road link the area with other parts of Knowsley and Liverpool, and short walks lead to health and retail services in neighbouring centres. Planning and regeneration efforts in recent years have focused on improving housing and public spaces while retaining the street pattern shaped by its mossland past. The result is a neighbourhood where everyday facilities are within walking distance and ties to nearby towns are practical rather than touristic.
