Edge Hill is a district of Liverpool, England, south east of the city centre, bordered by Kensington, Wavertree and Toxteth.

[citation needed] Joseph Williamson (1769–1840), a tobacco magnate, was responsible for much of the building in the area in the early 19th century.

[citation needed] The "Mole of Edge Hill" employed hundreds of men to construct the Williamson Tunnels beneath the area.

The station retains its original buildings but is very quiet owing to the sheer lack of population or industry in the area.

[2] A local school on Durning Road, the Ernest Brown Junior Instructional College, was the site of one of the worst civilian bombings of the Second World War.

Edge Hill University began work in the area in 1885 as a teacher training college, though it moved to its current Ormskirk site in 1933.

[7] Herbert Rowse Armstrong, the Hay poisoner, lived at 52 Durning Road, Edge Hill whilst practising as a solicitor in the city.
