[edit] History
In 1901, St Michael's was the richest parish in the country, reflecting the wealth of Liverpool and the status of the area. Its parish church is of a cast-iron construction by John Cragg, who was also responsible for St George's and St Philip's.
[edit] Description
It is to the West of Aigburth Road, near Sefton Park and is a quiet and pleasant residential area. Housing is a mix of semi-detached and terraced houses, with a few exclusive detached developments near the waterfront. It is a small district and, as such, is sometimes considered part of Aigburth, an adjacent suburb which is larger.
