Stockbridge Village

Renamed Stockbridge Village in 1983 following the revamp of the Cantril Farm housing estate the community was developed in the 60s to rehouse residents from inner-city Liverpool whose homes were knocked down in the slum clearances. More than £25m has been invested in the area in recent years with family homes replacing the tower blocks and a new leisure centre. Former Liverpool FC supersub David Fairclough grew up on Cantril Farm as did Paul Rutherford of Frankie Goes to Hollywood fame.
