Knotty Ash (ward)

Knotty Ash is a ward within the City of Liverpool, England. It is located to the east of Broadgreen and west of Huyton. Historically, it was a village and civil parish within Lancashire before becoming part of Liverpool in 1913.

The area is perhaps best known for its association with comedian Sir Ken Dodd, who frequently referenced Knotty Ash in his acts, often exaggerating its quirks and creating fictional aspects of the locale. This comedic portrayal contributed significantly to the area's wider recognition.

The ward is primarily residential, with a mix of housing types including detached, semi-detached, and terraced houses. Local amenities include shops, schools, and parks.

While often perceived as a small village due to Dodd's comedic interpretation, Knotty Ash is a significant suburb within the larger city of Liverpool. The actual boundaries of the ward have shifted over time due to local government reorganisation.
