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. 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. 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.

Carnatic Hall

Carnatic Hall was an 18th-century mansion that was located in Mossley Hill, Liverpool, England. The house was built in 1779 for slave trader Peter Baker, who served as Mayor of Liverpool in 1795. Originally on the site of Mossley Hall (home of the Ogden family) it was renamed Carnatic Hall by Baker after the French East Indiaman Carnatic, which the privateer Mentor, which Baker owned, had captured in October 1778. Carnatic was said to be the richest prize ever taken and brought safe into port by a Liverpool adventurer, being of the value of £135,000. In 1891 the house burned down and the then owner, Walter Holland, had a hall built in the same style. In 1947, The University of Liverpool purchased Carnatic Hall as a home for the University of Liverpool Museum. In 1964 the mansion was demolished and replaced with student accommodation, the Carnatic Halls of Residence. This consisted of six residences: McNair Hall, Salisbury Hall, Rankin Hall, Morton House, Lady Mountford Hall, and Dale Hall. In 2018, it was announced that the Carnatic Student Village would be closing.
