Warbreck (ward)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Coordinates: 53°27′24″N 2°57′50″W / 53.4568°N 2.9639°W / 53.4568; -2.9639 Warbreck is a Liverpool City Council Ward in Liverpool, England. It contains the northern parts of the Walton and Orrell Park areas of Liverpool. Warbreck is purely the name of the council ward and has never been used as a district name. There is however, a public house of the same name, within the wards boundaries situated on Orrell Lane.

Etymology

Warbreck means "look-out hill", from Old Norse varŏi "look-out" and brekka "hill (in the sense 'cairn')". The etymology is the same as that of Warbreck (Lancashire). The place-name was recorded as Varebrikke in 1035. The ward is home to the salubrious Walton Jail, colloquially known as the Hornby Hotel or the Big House.

Geographical location

The ward contains only part of Orrell Park and is close to the Netherton area, bordering on Bootle.

Councillors

The ward has returned six Councillors^[1] Labour gained two councillors in 2007, one at the May local elections, and one in a by-election held in September 2007 after the death of Cllr Lang. The winner Cllr McLinden successfully defended his seat in May 2008.
