Sitting in north Liverpool between Croxteth, Fazakerley, and the nearby town of Kirkby, Gillmoss is a predominantly industrial district that sees relatively little residential development. Being a small area, it is frequently absorbed into Croxteth on maps and in local usage, given that Croxteth is the larger and more recognisable suburb directly adjacent to it.
Character and Condition
Much of Gillmoss is given over to industry and commercial land, though pockets of housing do exist, particularly around the East Lancashire Road. Parts of the district have been described as a ghost town following years of decay and neglect. More recently, a commercial development called Stonebridge Park has taken shape as part of a regeneration effort in this corner of north Liverpool. Among the businesses operating there are Euro Foodbrands Export Ltd, P.A Foods Ltd, and Healthy Foods Online Ltd.
Transport
One of Liverpool’s largest bus depots sits on the East Lancashire Road in Gillmoss. Originally built by Liverpool Corporation Transport, the depot is now operated by Stagecoach and continues to function as a significant part of the city’s bus network infrastructure.
