West Derby

[discuit]

Hello,

 

Me and the wife are thinking of moving from Preston to West Derby in Liverpool. We've seen a place we like on the new Morris estate behind that big Tesco

 

Can any locals tell me what its like?

 

Any good boozers etc

 

Thanks in advance

Alrite mate, i know someone who lives in the estate your talking about and it seems quite nice. Deysbrook's a bit dodgy but your out the other side of it there so you should be alright.

 

As for boozers, if you go through Deysbrook from the estate (past Melwood) there's an alehouse called The Royal Standard that's sound - good atmosphere in there, good red house for the match (i was in there for Inter away and it was bouncing) and the restaurant bit in there does some nice meals as well.

Cheers Fella, So over the road is a warzone?

Seriously mate, unless your moving to Liverpool for some great reason dont live here. I live in Anfield and am moving to North Wales where house prices are better and crime is far lower.

 

Some parts of West Deby can be OK. But your only a mile away from a shithole.

 

If I was advising you as a parent. Think again.

 

 

PS. I dont work for Liverpool Tourist Board.

Not a warzone but you get the usual gangs of lads in trackies milling about. Saying that i live in an estate on the other side of Deysbrook to your estate and i couldn't ask for a nicer place.

They do a fucking gorgeous Roast Dinner aswell in there. The Sefton in West Derby village is sound aswell.

That estates class, we were looking at some 5 bedroom house there and it looked ace, its like your nowhere near canny farm when you are in that estate as its such a nice estate.

I live in West Derby and its not a bad place. As with most of Liverpool you get the odd bellend but as a rule its not too bad. Plenty of boozers that you can go to and have a decent bevvy, you get the odd dickhead but you do in most places don`t you , as a rule its ok.

[Section_31]

My mate lives around that neck of the woods and she likes it, her estate is populated solely by wealthy asians now though and one will occasionally knock on her door asking her to name a price for her gaff!

[Woo]

All my mates live round there, also you would only be minutes away from Melwood. Theres a few decent boozers, although the Seftons shutting down, (think its getting done up). But the standard, and the Hare and Hounds in the village are the best two.

 

Not the best place in Liverpool, but certainly not the worse

[firemarshall]

The Sefton has shut down for a little while but its shite anyway. They are turning it into some kind of steak house or something. Go the Hare and Hounds or the Barry`s and its ok but the Sefton, when its open, is just full of wankers.If you think your`e a boss scally and feel at ease calling everyone you meet "lad" while you have your hands down your kecks you`ll fit in a treat.

We looked at that one, Well the Mrs looked I shook my head a lot and then hurried her out

 

at nearly 400k its a bit out of our price range

As someone who grew up in North Wales (abergele) The house prices are certainly no cheaper.. My Dad still lives there.

 

We are moving there as my wife is from there and works in Knowsley, as we currently live in Preston and it takes her ages to get to work.

 

But thanks for the advice.

Would never have guessed.

 

Have fun in the crime free utopia that is North Wales.

 

Also, by your own logic, some parts of North Wales can be ok, but you're only a mile or so from a shithole too.

Move to Huyton. The Cultural Capital of Knowsley.

I live near to Mold now. Liverpool isnt the worst place in the world but personally feel more at ease here and car insurance prices are 40% cheaper.

AdamS is from NW also and hes got a posh car so therefore I must be right!:whistle:

 

Good Luck with your move.

[discuit]

Shit i didn't think of Car Insurance and the like

 

And theres me with a fucking Golf GTI Turbo, asking for trouble

[LFC Brian]

At the end of the day though,that is Border line Canny Farm.Not nice there mate.

[discuit]

Canny Farm?

[Woo]

Canny Farm - the scouse south central.

 

Move to Old Swan, all the gangs round here are shit, dont even try an rob you, they give ASBOs a bad reputation.

Cannibal Farm. There is sometimes shootings and carjackings at the traffic lights over the road from the shops on Princess Drive; depending were you're coming from you may have to use this road.

 

And the "Bow-5-1" may knock you physically sick driving past it.

Sounds lovely, Amazingly the Wife seems to think its a nice part.

 

She did live in Skem for 10 years though

The estate you are considering is The Point and it's not bad at all. A lot of development has gone on in the Deysbrook area over the past two or three years and, to be fair, the area is quite decent. Everywhere has its arseholes but that's a fact of life today. If you want total seclusion and security then don't look to live in the suburbs of a modern city; try one of the Scottish Isles, but you still might get fucked about by some unruly seals. West Derby is an ok place. There are decent schools in the area, a twenty minute bus ride to the city centre, shops and supermarkets are quite handy and, now that The Derby Arms (aka 'The Shithole') has been demolished, all the local pubs are comfortable gaffs. Even Stockbridge Village (formerly 'Canny Farm') is nowhere near as hairy as some people posting on these threads would have you believe. Mind you, I moved to West Derby from Scotland Road in the 60s so I may have a different take on what constitutes a rough area. Melwood is also in the area and you can spend your days standing outside the training ground with your autograph book admiring the cars that the players drive as they go by without acknowledging your presence. Lots of people take part in that particular activity. Better off going the pub.

Thats Torahboy, thats a far more positive outlook
