Freshfield
Freshfield is an area of Formby, in the Metropolitan Borough of Sefton, Merseyside, England, situated at the northern end of the town. It has no local political distinction or representation and is included as part of the two council wards which make up Formby (Harington and Ravenmeols), nor is it separated in any physical sense from the town.
The area is often considered to be affluent with local celebrities, footballers, politicians and businessmen calling this their home, see people from Formby. (Shireburn Road ) in Freshfield is the most expensive road in Merseyside, house prices on the exclusive road averaged £1,159,831 in 2009.〔http://www.formbytimes.co.uk/news/formby-news/2009/05/13/formby-roads-are-ranked-have-topped-merseyside-s-property-rich-list-66401-23606962/2/〕
==History==
The name did not exist until Formby's second railway station, Freshfield, was built in 1854. The name was chosen, as the local landowner, Thomas Fresh, owned the adjacent model farm and fields. Fresh was Inspector of Nuisances in Liverpool and was one of the celebrated trio of pioneering officers appointed in 1847 by the Borough of Liverpool's Health of the Town Committee; the others being William Henry Duncan, the UK's first Medical Officer of Health, and James Newlands, Borough Engineer (though it was recently discovered that Fresh had been in a similar post for several years before this).
A process of reverse naming seems to have occurred with some people referring to the area of Formby around this station as "Freshfield". The title originally proposed was "Freshton".
