A new home is listed for sale in Merseyside that dates back to the beginning of the region.
The former farmhouse was originally part of Lord Derby's Estate, making it a "little bit of history". The five bedroom detached property, on Church Road, in Roby, was reportedly once part of the estate that has links to Knowsley Hall.
According to family history, Lord Derby's Estate started with Lord Thomas Stanley who was given the title Earl of Derby in 1485 after the Battle of Bosworth when Richard III lost the crown of England to Henry Tudor. The title Derby reportedly came from the 'Hundred of West Derby' which was an area until the 17th century which included Knowsley and the small port of Liverpool.
