Allerton

Allerton is a residential suburb in Liverpool set on elevated terrain, combining 1930s-era houses with larger estates spread across the landscape. The area is defined by its topography and the presence of Calderstones Park, which anchors the local environment.

The area appeared in the Domesday Book as Alretune, derived from Old English words meaning a place with alder trees. Most of the current residential character developed during the 20th century through the construction of the 1930s housing stock.

The neighborhood contains extensive green spaces, with Calderstones Park serving as a focal point where ancient stone monuments still stand in their original setting. These outdoor areas reflect how residents use the district for leisure and connection with nature.

Two rail stations serve the area, with regular services connecting to Liverpool city centre in reasonable travel time. Both stations are easily accessible from the residential streets, making transport straightforward for visitors and residents alike.

Allerton Road has developed into a dining destination with several restaurants and bars that complement the traditional suburban feel. This transformation shows how the area is evolving while maintaining its quiet, residential character.
