Anfield (ward)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Anfield is a Liverpool City Council ward in the Liverpool Walton Parliamentary constituency.

The ward was created in 1900 with a single councillor elected in that year, a second was elected in 1901 and a third in 1902. The boundary of the ward has been altered in 1953, 1973, 1980 and finally in 2004.

The ward contains Anfield Cemetery, Stanley Park and Anfield Stadium. In 2004 the ward was slightly enlarged and the current ward boundaries are Walton Lane to the west; the Canada Dock Branch Line to the north; roughly Townsend Lane, Lower Breck Road and Rocky Lane to the east; and Walton Breck Road, Oakfield Road and Belmont Road to the south.
