History [edit]

The earliest recorded reference to Childwall was in the Domesday Book of 1086.

"Four Radmans held Childwall as four Manors. There is half a hide. It was worth eight shillings. There was a priest, having half a carucate of land in frank almoign."[2][3]

Childwall was known as Cileuuelle in the 1086 Domesday Book meaning 'a stream where youngsters meet' from the Old English words cild and wella. Historically the name has been recorded as Childewalle (1212 and 1332), Chaldewall (1238), Childwall (1261), Childewelle (1291), Chaldewal (1305) and Childewall (1354).[4]

Childwall was traditionally part of the West Derby Hundred. It was an urban district from the Local Government Act 1894 until it was annexed to Liverpool in 1913.[5]

All Saints' Church, Childwall, is the oldest church in Liverpool and still has a lively and full congregation to this date. Childwall once had a large Jewish community, but since the 1980s this has been in gradual decline with many now living in Gateacre and Allerton.

Description [edit]

Childwall is dominated by the "Childwall Fiveways", a roundabout that is one of the busiest in Liverpool. Housing is almost entirely detached or semi-detached; there are very few terraces within Childwall. The area's pleasant greenery in abundance and range of large houses makes it one of Liverpool's most sought-after suburbs.

Childwall's public houses include the Childwall Abbey, the Halfway House and the Childwall Fiveways. From 2009, the Halfway House became the starting point for regular Tom Slemen Haunted Liverpool Ghost and Murder Tours of Childwall, in aid of Freshfields Animal Rescue.

Lime Pictures, formerly Mersey Television, is based in the area and produces Hollyoaks for Channel Four. Childwall was also the home of Brookside until 2003, and the BBC's Grange Hill between 2003 and 2008.
