Norris Green Park

Norris Green Park in Norris Green, Liverpool, England is a city park situated between Broad Lane and Lorenzo Drive. The park contains the ruin of Norris Green, the original name of the grand mansion built by the Norris family in the fields and pastureland near West Derby. The park was created from the gardens and grounds of the mansion. Norris Green gave its name to the vast, council estate built to ease the housing crisis of the 1920s on land given to the city by Lord Derby of Knowsley Hall. He donated the land on the provision that no public houses were to be built within the estate. The park was transferred to council ownership in 1933 to be used as a public space. In 2018 a group of volunteers formed Friends of Norris Green Park to improve the park for the benefit of local people and residents of the city.
