At the 2001 Census it had a population of 15,062,[1] increasing to 16,786 at the 2011 Census.[2] DescriptionThe Fazakerley area is located in north Liverpool, with neighbouring districts that include Croxteth, Aintree and Kirkby. Some of the notable features of the area are Fazakerley railway station, Altcourse Prison and Aintree University Hospital. Unusually, part of Fazakerley is in the neighbouring borough council of Knowsley, with the boundary running down Copple House Lane. A section of the Knowsley side of Fazakerley is often referred to as the "Field Lane Estate". The separate "Sparrow Hall" estate is on the edge of Fazakerley, near to the A580 East Lancashire Road and Norris Green. HistoryFazakerley takes its name from Anglo-Saxon root words—all descriptive words pertaining to land; *Fæs-æcer-lēah. This can be broken down to fæs (border or fringe), æcer (field) and lēah, meaning a wood or clearing. In 1321, Fazakerley was described as such: "the country is extremely flat and treeless, with nothing to recommend it to the passer-by, for it seems to be a district of straight lines, devoid of any beauty".[3] It had an area of {{convert|1709|acre|km2}} and was separated from Walton by a brook, and from West Derby partly by Sugar Brook up to Stone bridge. Fazakerley was once home to a Royal Ordnance Factories plant (ROF Fazakerley), which manufactured weapons such as the Lee–Enfield rifle, Sten and Sterling submachine guns both during and after World War II. In Television1983 Yorkshire Television drama One Summer was partially set in Fazakerley. See also
