Description Incorrect Description? Tell Us!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". It had an area of 1709 acres and was separated from Walton by a brook, and from West Derby partly by Sugar Brook up to Stone bridge.

Fazakerley takes its name from Anglo-Saxon root words -- all descriptive words pertaining to land; "Faes-aecer-leah." This can be broken down to faes (border or fringe), aecer (field) and lea, or lei, meaning a wood or clearing.

Some of the notable features of the area are Fazakerley railway station, Altcourse (HM Prison), and Fazakerley hospital, officially known as University Hospital Aintree. Fazakerley was once home to a Royal Ordnance Factories plant (ROF Fazakerley), which manufactured weapons such as the Lee Enfield rifle, Sten and Sterling submachine guns both during and after World War II.

Former Everton footballers Tony Grant and the legendary Colin Harvey, known as the 'white Pele', are both from Fazakerley. Gifted sprinter Kevin Jennings was also born there.
