Lipson

Lipson is a ward in the city of Plymouth, England. It is an affluent area with a substantial park called 'Freedom Fields" a Civil War battle site where the towns folk of nearby Plymouth resisted substantial Cavalier raiding parties and enabled the town to sustain the royalist siege. Freedom fields existed before the Civil Warand acquired its name after defeating a French invasion two hundred years before.

Formerly the site of Plymouth's biggest hospital, the borough prison, fire and ambulance stations, it now retains only the (rebuilt) fire station. Most of the housing stock is good quality Victorian and Edwardian terraces and good schools are available. The area offers fine views in each direction not least south across Plymouth Sound. The retail shopping center, the university and the mainline railway station are all within short walking distance.
