Cast Iron Shore (colloquially known as 'The Cazzy') was a name given to the banks of the Mersey in south Liverpool due to the presence of an iron foundry. St Michael's Church, opened in 1815, was known as the Cast Iron Church because of the extensive use of cast iron in its construction.[1][2]

Cast Iron Shore is mentioned in The Beatles' song Glass Onion.[3] Liverpool Poet, Justine Tennant, also mentions the Cast Iron Shore in her poem Norra Lorra Otters.[4]
