About Crosby

Crosby’s coastal edge, where the Mersey estuary meets the Irish Sea, has long shaped its character, fostering a history intertwined with maritime trade and the enduring pull of the tides. The town's economy, once perhaps more directly reliant on the waters that lap its shores, now finds its roots in a blend of local commerce and its proximity to the larger economic engines of Merseyside. The land itself, a subtle sweep of low-lying terrain, possesses a certain quiet spaciousness, a breadth of sky that often lends a luminous quality to the afternoon light. This geography has gifted Crosby a resilient spirit, one that has weathered the ebb and flow of centuries. The distinctive presence of Antony Gormley's 'Another Place' sculptures, stretching across the sands at Crosby beach, offers a profound and moving encounter with art and the elements, drawing visitors to witness their silent vigil against the sea and sky. Beyond this iconic installation, the town retains a sense of grounded community, with local events and a proud tradition of sporting endeavour, particularly evident in its football clubs. The presence of well-regarded schools like Merchant Taylors' Boys' School and Merchant Taylors' Girls' School speaks to a long-standing commitment to education, shaping generations of residents who carry the distinctive spirit of Crosby with them.
