Breckfield (ward)

Breckfield ward was an electoral district of Liverpool City Council from 1895 until 2004. It was part of the Everton and Anfield districts of Liverpool.

1895 boundaries
The ward was created from parts of the Everton and Kirkdale wards and was within the Liverpool Kirkdale Parliamentary constituency.

1980 boundaries
A report of the Local Government Boundary Commission for England published in November 1978 set out proposals for changes to the wards of Liverpool City Council, maintaining the number of councillors at 99 representing 33 wards. Breckfield ward was retained and was represented by three councillors.

The report describes the boundaries of Breckfield ward as "Commencing at a point where Aubrey Street meets Everton Road, thence northwestwards along said road and Heyworth Street to Grecian Terrace, thence southwestwards along said terrace and Havelock Street to Netherfield Road North, thence northwestwards along said road and continuing northwestwards along the eastern boundary of Vauxhall Ward to the southwestern boundary of Melrose Ward, thence northeastwards along said boundary to Anfield Road, thence southeast wards along said road to Back Rockfield Road, thence southeastwards along said road to a point opposite the rear boundaries of Nos 24-2 Lake Street, thence southwestwards along said boundaries to a point opposite the rear boundary of the Public House (No 185), in Walton Breck Road, thence southeastwards to and along said boundary and southwestwards along the eastern boundary of said Public House to Walton Breck Road, thence southeastwards along said road to Oakfield Road, thence southeastwards along said road and Belmont Road to Whitefield Road, thence southwestwards along said road to and southwestwards along the unnamed road north of Prince Rupert County Primary School to Whitefield Way, thence continuing southwestwards along said way, crossing Queen's Road and continuing southwestwards in a straight line to the junction of Hodson Place and Margaret Street, thence southwards along said street to Aubrey Street, thence southwestwards along said street to the point of commencement".

Until 1983 the ward was within the Liverpool Kirkdale Parliamentary constituency and afterwards the Liverpool Walton Parliamentary constituency.

2004 elections
A report of the Local Government Boundary Commission published in March 2003 recommended the number of wards in the city be reduced to 30 and the number of councillors reduced to 90. The Breckfield ward was dissolved and distributed into the re-arranged Everton and Anfield wards.
