Anfield is a district in the north of Liverpool, England, sitting within the Liverpool Walton parliamentary constituency and covered by the Anfield ward of Liverpool City Council. The area is perhaps best known worldwide as the location of Anfield stadium, the home ground of Liverpool FC.
The Local Area
Beyond the football ground, Anfield is a residential suburb of Liverpool with its own ward boundary administered through Liverpool City Council. The ward falls within the Liverpool Walton constituency, one of the city’s northern parliamentary divisions. Anfield Cemetery, also known as the City of Liverpool Cemetery, is another notable feature of the district.
Sharing a Name
The Anfield name extends beyond Merseyside – there is also a small community called Anfield in New Brunswick, Canada, which shares the name with this Liverpool suburb. The Liverpool district should not be confused with Annfield Plain, a village in County Durham, which carries a similar but distinct name.
