About

Prescot sits in the Metropolitan Borough of Knowsley, east of Liverpool city centre. The town has a market place, a parish church, and a small museum that records its long history in clock- and watchmaking; local collections show tools and examples from the trade that shaped the town in the 18th and 19th centuries. The Shakespeare North Playhouse opened in the town, located near the archaeological site where a 17th‑century playhouse once stood, and hosts productions and community workshops. Rail services from Prescot station provide direct journeys into Liverpool, supporting commuters and visitors to the town centre.

Local streets include a mix of shops, cafes and civic buildings, with regular community events centred on the market and the playhouse programme. Employment around Prescot combines small businesses and light industry, often on estates close to the town edge. Knowsley borough services operate from nearby administrative centres, and local walking routes link the town to surrounding residential areas and green corridors that sit between Prescot and neighbouring suburbs.
