[edit] History
During the Victorian era, St Michael's was a very wealthy parish, reflecting the wealth of the city of Liverpool. Its parish church, St Michael's, is of a cast-iron construction by John Cragg, who was also responsible for St George's and St Philip's churches in the city.
[edit] Description
It is a residential area to the west of Aigburth Road, near Sefton Park. Housing is a mix of semi-detached and terraced houses, with a few detached developments near the waterfront. St Michaels is part of Aigburth, an adjacent suburb which is larger. St Michael's Hamlet was designated a conservation area on 12 December 1968.[1]
[edit] Government
The elected councillors for St. Michael's are Cllr Peter Allen (Liberal Democrats), and Cllr John Coyne and Cllr Sarah Jennings (Green Party).
