Great Crosby

Great Crosby, commonly known as just "Crosby" is a town in Sefton, Merseyside, North West England.

Crosby grew up during the late 19th and early 20th century and comprises a number of distinct areas with their own character.

Most residents commute to Liverpool to work either by car, bus or on the electric train service from Blundellsands/Crosby and Hall Road stations.

Crosby has a cinema, two fee-paying schools (Merchant Taylors' and St Mary's) and a pleasant park facing the sea.

Great Crosby was an urban district in its own right but merged with Little Crosby and Waterloo with Seaforth in the early 20th century and was then absorbed into the new Sefton district.
