Norris Green is a large housing estate in Liverpool, Merseyside, England. At the 2001 Census it had a population of 17, 784, which had fallen to 15, 047 at the 2011 Census. It is in the Norris Green city council ward. HistoryHistorically a part of Lancashire, Norris Green was developed in the 1920s and named after the Liverpool-based Norris family. It is thought the land Norris Green was built on was donated to the city by Lord Derby, who was at the time resident at nearby Knowsley Hall. Although it is also suggested Lord Derby did not give the land away - he didn't own it in the first place. The area called Norris Green was a farming estate; it stretched as far as Stone Bridge House to the north and Norris Green Farm (opposite the junction of Hornspit Lane and Almonds Green) to the south. The sale boundary in the 1920s consisted of the railway, Carr Lane, Dwerryhouse Lane and Hornspit Lane. It was bought by the council for the sum of £65, 000 from the estate of Leyland & Naylor. GeographyThe area is defined by a number of major thoroughfares. These are: the A580 East Lancashire Road and a small portion of Walton Hall Avenue to the north; Lowerhouse Lane and Dwerryhouse Lane to the east; Muirhead Avenue and Queens Drive to the south and Townsend Avenue back to Walton Hall Avenue to the west.
