Tuebrook (or Tue Brook;[2] locally /ˈtʃuːbruːk, -brʊk/) is an area in the north-east of Liverpool, England. At the 2001 census the population was 14,490.[1]
Description
Tuebrook includes Newsham Park, the Victorian, Grade I listed building St John's Church, Tuebrook Market and Tuebrook Police Station, which is now closed to the public although still in use by Merseyside Police. It is part of the Parliamentary Constituency of Liverpool West Derby. A unique characteristic of the main shopping street is that all shops are on one side of the street only. This is largely due to extensive demolition during upgrading of the main road.
Tuebrook has two secondary schools nearby: West Derby School located on Mill Bank and St Francis of Assisi in Newsham Park.
The Musical Box, on West Derby Road, is Liverpool's oldest independent record shop, having been established in 1947 by Dorothy Cain and run by the same family for four generations.[3][4]
Government
For representation to the House of Commons, the area is within the Liverpool West Derby Parliamentary constituency.
