Netherfield was a former electoral ward in the City of Liverpool, Merseyside, England, which existed from 1895 until its dissolution in 1973 as part of a major boundary reorganization.

== History ==

Netherfield ward was created in 1895 following the division of the original Everton ward into four: Everton, Netherfield, St. Domingo, and Brockfield. The ward was named after Netherfield Road, a key thoroughfare in the area.{{Cite web |title=Townships: Everton {{!}} British History Online |url=https://www.british-history.ac.uk/vch/lancs/vol3/pp20-22 |access-date=2025-04-04 |website=British History}}

In 1973, as part of a wider reorganization of Liverpool’s wards, Netherfield was abolished and its areas were merged into newly drawn wards. The restructuring aimed to modernize the city's electoral boundaries.https://www.cambridge.org/core/books/politics-of-local-government-boundary-changes-and-representation/5B8F8D8F11B60D578F0A3E8819A14B93 {{dead link|date=May 2025}}

== Geography ==

Netherfield ward was located in the northern part of Liverpool, covering areas around Netherfield Road and parts of Everton. It was bordered by the Everton, St. Domingo, and Brockfield wards. The area was historically residential, with close links to Liverpool’s docks and city centre.

== Legacy ==

Though the ward no longer exists, its name remains associated with Netherfield Road, a historically significant part of Liverpool. The electoral changes of 1973 marked a shift in the city’s political landscape, with older wards like Netherfield being absorbed into broader constituencies.https://www.liverpoolhistorybooks.com/a-history-of-liverpool-1207-2007 {{dead link|date=May 2025}}
