Kensington, Liverpool
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kensington is an area of Liverpool. It is an area primarily of housing situated east of the city centre and north of Edge Hill.
The area was made famous in the song Streets of Kenny on the HMS Fable album by Liverpool band Shack. The song's main theme centres around the availability of Heroin and Cannabis in the area, and therefore is very easily confusable with the London borough of the same name.
[edit] Attractions
There are few nightlife attractions in Kensington, thought the area does boast a number of true Liverpool pubs.
[edit] Regeneration
In recent years due to an influx of money from the 'The Kensington Regeneration' programme, things are starting to improve with run down houses being renewed and street monitors being put in place to keep a good social order.
[edit] Famous people
Atomic Kitten member Natasha Hamilton grew up in Kensington.
