Huyton: Knowsley's Centre, the Liverpool Overspill, and Merseyside's Eastern Suburb
Huyton was a small Lancashire village until Liverpool's post-war overspill housing transformed it into a suburban town. The Huyton with Roby area was a separate urban district before local government reorganisation placed it within the Metropolitan Borough of Knowsley in 1974. Harold Wilson, four-time Prime Minister, was MP for Huyton from 1950 to 1983. The population of the Knowsley borough is around 150,000, with Huyton being the largest settlement and administrative centre. The Knowsley Safari Park, opened in 1971 on the Earl of Derby's estate, lies to the east.
Huyton station provides Merseyrail services to Liverpool city centre (fifteen minutes). The M57 motorway skirts the eastern edge. The town centre around Derby Road and Lathom Road carries local retail. For adult companionship, Huyton is covered by Merseyside Police and falls under England and Wales criminal law.
