Most people would think that suburban and city life don’t go hand in hand.
However, in Marybone, located in Merseyside and just a 15-minute walk into Liverpool’s city centre, residents have the best of both worlds. The people in the area pride themselves on the tight-knit community, with a population of only 1,300 people, they love that everyone knows everyone.
Sandwiched between busy routes into the city centre, Leeds Street and Byrom Street, it sits in the shadow of historic buildings and has seen a lot of change in the recent decade with the demolition of the Churchill flyover and the new Byrom Point student block. The ECHO spent the day in the tiny part of Liverpool, chatting to some of the area's locals, to see what it’s like living in a slice of suburbia in the heart of the city and what they think makes it unique.
