Historically part of Cheshire prior to 1974, it is within the Pensby & Thingwall Ward of the Metropolitan Borough of Wirral and is situated within the parliamentary constituency of Wirral West. At the 2001 Census, the population of the village was 6,900 and the total population for the ward was 13,314. By the Census 2011 the population for Pensby was no longer maintained. However the ward mentioned was available at a figure of 13,007.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Pensby and Thingwall ward 2011 )〕 ==History== The name Pensby comes from Old Norse, meaning a village or settlement at a hill called "Penn". The ''"by"'' suffix, included in neighbouring place names such as Frankby, Greasby, and Irby, is believed to be Viking in origin. Pensby was originally a village in Woodchurch Parish, Wirral Hundred. The population was 22 in 1801, 48 in 1901 and 2,996 in 1951. Lower Pensby was previously known as Newtown. This was due to the building of new houses around the turn of the twentieth century at the crossroads of Pensby Road and Gills Lane. On 1 April 1974, local government reorganisation in England and Wales resulted in most of Wirral, including Pensby, transfer from the county of Cheshire to Merseyside. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pensby」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
