This site is named after the
village called Formby.
DID
you know that
Formby is in fact made
up not one, but a few villages. The main village is being
Formby and the other main area is a village called Freshfeild.
Formby is thought to be one the oldest settlements on Merseyside and
the current village is thought to have been founded by
the
Vikings. Evidence of
man though
using the area stretches back to approximately 3,500 to 4,000 years
ago. This evidence has been confirmed after erosion of sand on
the beach at Formby revealed layers of mud and sediment, with
foot prints, laid down by
Neolithic and early
Bronze Age man.
The oldest buildings in Formby
are mainly found in Freshfeild half of the village. You
can often find Formby marked on Merseyside Coastline as Formby Point. Formby geographically sits
between two military bases, Altcar Training Camp and
RAF Woodvale as well as a major
international Golf course. Southport is the nearest
town and Liverpool is the nearest city. The
nearest river is the Alt that passes the south easterly edge of
the village and then
moves off and into a village called High
Town through farmland and the army camp. Formby's
regional association is Merseyside and is located in the northern
part that region, known as Sefton, under Sefton MBC. Despite its size,
this area is world famous for
many things, from growing a food plant called
Asparagus, to having not one, but two
internationally
renowned golf courses;
Formby
Hall and
Formby Golf
Club. That's not forgetting that it was the site
of the UK's first ever
lifeboat station, to name just a few
points. The area is also well known for it's incredibly
rich ecosystem, having three major nature reserves, contain all
types of endangered fauna and flora. The most well known
being the Naterjack toad and the other major inhabitants being
the Red Squirrel. More information about Formby will be
added very soon on this website..
