Fazakerley
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Fazakerley is a suburb of North Liverpool, England, and a Liverpool City Council Ward.
In 1321, Fazakerley was described as such: "the country is extremely flat and treeless, with nothing to recommend it to the passer-by, for it seems to be a district of straight lines, devoid of any beauty".[1] It had an area of 1709 acres and was separated from Walton by a brook, now called Tue Brook, and from West Derby partly by Sugar Brook up to Stone bridge.
Some of the notable features of the area are Fazakerley railway station, Altcourse (HM Prison), and Fazakerley hospital. Fazakerley was home to a Royal Ordnance Factories plant (ROF Fazakerley), which manufactured rifles and ordinance during and after World War II.
