Fairfield, Liverpool

Fairfield, Liverpool

Fairfield is an area of Liverpool, in Merseyside, England, encompassing streets between Tuebrook and Kensington and stretching to Old Swan. It consists of a variety of houses; there are some traditional red-brick terraces, larger Victorian villas and also the notable and rather wonderful 300 year-old Georgian Fairfield Crescent which is off the equally old and wonderful Prospect Vale. Hidden gems in a conservation area which were they located in a different part of Liverpool would be worth considerably more. The area also contains the Victorian Newsham Park, for which the area is notable. The council is currently preparing a Heritage Lottery bid for substantial funds to bring the park and its lake back to their former splendour. It is paired with Kensington to form a Liverpool City Council Ward.

The district is primarily residential although a few industrial estate roads exist.

Etymology

Fairfield means "land where swine are pastured", from Old English "fōr" "swine" and "feld" "field, pasture".The name was recorded as "Fornefeled" in 1129.
