Welcome to Kirkby

Kirkby is a town located in the Metropolitan Borough of Knowsley, Merseyside, England. It is situated approximately 6 miles north-east of Liverpool city centre and has a population of around 40,000 people. The town has a rich history, dating back to the 12th century when it was known as "Kirkby-in-Ashfield". It was later renamed "Kirkby" in the 1930s when it became a residential area for workers in the nearby industrial areas.

Kirkby has undergone significant redevelopment in recent years, with the construction of new housing estates and the regeneration of the town centre. The Kirkby town centre redevelopment project, which began in 2018, aims to create a modern, vibrant town centre with new shops, restaurants, and leisure facilities. The project is expected to be completed by 2023 and will provide a major boost to the local economy.

Kirkby is also home to several notable landmarks and attractions, including the historic St Chad's Church, which dates back to the 14th century, and the Kirkby Sports Centre, which offers a range of sports and fitness facilities. The town is also well-connected, with easy access to the M57 and M58 motorways, as well as regular bus and train services to Liverpool and other nearby towns and cities.
