The ward was created from the former Grassendale and Aigburth wards.

The population of the ward at the 2021 census was 12,041.[1]

2023 ward

The ward boundaries were changed in 2023 following a review by the Local Government Boundary Commission for England which decided that the existing 30 wards each represented by three Councillors should be replaced by 64 wards represented by 85 councillors with varying representation by one, two or three councillors per ward.[2]

The Mossley Hill ward was recreated as a single-member ward, taking the eastern half of the former Mossley Hill ward and a small portion of the former Cressington ward. The ward boundaries follow Elmswood Road, the West Coast Mainline, behind Lanville Road, Brodie Avenue, Glenhead Road, Aigburth Hall Road, behind The Serpentine, Aigburth Road, behind Barkhill Road, and North Sudley Road.[2] The ward includes Sudley House, John Moores University I.M. Marsh Campus, and Mossley Hill railway station.

The population of the ward at the 2021 census was 5,529.[3]
