Little Crosby

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Little Crosby is a small village on Merseyside, North West England. Despite being within 8 miles of Liverpool it has retained its rural character by, for example, opting not to have street lights.

As part of Lancashire the village was an urban district in its own right until annexed to the Great Crosby urban district in 1932. This urban district was combined with other districts to form the municipal borough of Crosby in 1937. This in turn was absorbed into the new Metropolitan Borough of Sefton in 1974.

Notable attractions are:

  • The Courtyard cafĂ©
  • Little Crosby museum, a small museum with exhibits focusing on village life and history.
  • Crosby Hall Educational Trust (CHET) which runs courses and community programmes, such as riding for the disabled and art courses.

The village is dominated by the St Mary's Roman Catholic Church
