Crosby Minicab Services: Connecting Coastal Sefton to Liverpool and Beyond

Crosby is a historic coastal town in the Metropolitan Borough of Sefton, Merseyside, England, located approximately 6 miles (9.6 km) north of Liverpool city centre. The town has Viking roots, originally known as Krossabyr in Old Norse, meaning "village with the cross", recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086 as Crosebi and by 1212 as Crosseby. Crosby is situated north of Bootle, south of Southport and Formby, and west of Netherton, abutting Blundellsands to the north and Waterloo to the south. The town encompasses several distinct areas including Great Crosby, Little Crosby, Blundellsands, Brighton-le-Sands, Waterloo, and Seaforth, covering the L23 postcode area.

The opening of the Liverpool, Crosby and Southport Railway in 1848 resulted in the growth of Crosby as a suburb of Liverpool, transforming it from a small village into a thriving coastal town. Before the creation of Merseyside in 1974, Crosby was located in Lancashire. Today, Crosby is renowned for its beautiful coastline, with 19th-century sea views described by a First Lord of the Admiralty as second only to the Bay of Naples, and is home to the internationally famous Antony Gormley "Another Place" art installation on Crosby Beach.

Our comprehensive Crosby taxi and minicab service provides reliable transportation throughout the entire L23 area, including Great Crosby, Crosby Village, Crosby Beach, Hall Road station, Blundellsands & Crosby station, Waterloo station, and all surrounding residential streets. We cover local landmarks including the Marina, Ince Woods, Rossett Park Stadium (home of Marine AFC), Merchant Taylors' Schools, and all community facilities across this historic coastal town.

Crosby Beach and Another Place: World-Famous Art Installation

Crosby Beach is home to Antony Gormley's internationally renowned art installation "Another Place", featuring 100 life-size cast-iron figures spread across a 2-mile stretch of beach between Waterloo and Blundellsands. This thought-provoking artwork has become one of the most visited attractions in the Liverpool City Region, drawing photographers, art enthusiasts, and tourists from around the world. The sculptures are permanently installed and visible at various tide levels, creating ever-changing perspectives as the Irish Sea ebbs and flows.

Our Crosby Beach taxi service provides convenient transportation for visitors to "Another Place", with pickups and drop-offs at multiple beach access points along the coastline. We offer regular transfers from Crosby Village, Great Crosby, Waterloo station, Blundellsands & Crosby station, and all L23 residential areas to the beach, with fixed prices from £8 for local journeys. Our drivers can recommend the best viewing times based on tidal conditions and provide information about optimal photography locations along the 2-mile installation.

Crosby Political History and Governance

Crosby formed part of the Crosby parliamentary constituency from 1950 until 2010, historically considered a safe Conservative Party stronghold with notable exception of the famous 1981 Crosby by-election when Shirley Williams of the Social Democratic Party was elected. From 1997 to 2010, the constituency was represented by Labour MP Claire Curtis-Thomas.

Following boundary revisions for the 2010 general election, the Crosby constituency was abolished and the town was divided between two constituencies: the urbanised areas (Great Crosby, Waterloo, Seaforth) were absorbed into the expanded Bootle constituency represented by Labour MP Peter Dowd, while the northern residential areas (Blundellsands, Brighton-le-Sands, Little Crosby, Thornton, Hightown) form part of the Sefton Central constituency represented by Labour MP Bill Esterson.
