It was home to the Lords Of Sefton (family name Molyneaux), whose house, Croxteth Hall, and the surrounding countryside estate now forms Croxteth Park , an attractive public space. The former UK Soap Opera Brookside was filmed on a housing estate built on some of Lord Sefton's estate. West Derby once had a Stocks , once used as a public restraint punishment for prisoners, although there is some question about their authenticity. There is also some suggestion of a Roman site on a street called Castlesite (nicknamed "De Rozeez" Rosies" by some locals). The site is now a small public park, the shape and dimensions of which are similar to that of a Roman barracks or Castra . West Derby is home to a large number of schools that have produced famous students: West Derby Comprehensive ( Craig Charles ), St. Edward's College ( Terry Leahy ), Cardinal Heenan ( Steven Gerrard ), and Holly Lodge ( Atomic Kitten ). West Derby is the location for the training grounds of two English Football League Teams , Everton F.C. at Bellefield and Liverpool F.C. at Melwood . EXTERNAL LINKS |
