Garston

Garston's first dock opened in the mid 1800s and it remains a significant shipping and container port today. It is also a transport hub and the home of Liverpool South Parkway station. The iconic former Bryant and May matchworks has been renovated and transformed into a business centre. Famous sons include former Redrow and Wolves chairman Steve Morgan and trade union leader Jack Jones.
