during the early 1990s with the creation of a central square shopping region. Over the road from the new shopping square was Clent House, then owned by farmer John Cropper who sold the land and property around 1993 to the local authorities. Cropper's family had owned the land for generations, while their house was fronted by a "picturesque delf, ringed by trees" and was considered among the more beautiful parts of Maghull. Plans to regenerate the site were set in motion to provide needed amenities for the area, with a new police station and council offices among the suggestions. Maghull is presently served by the Central Square Shopping Centre, which is based in the northwest of Maghull, which is the original town centre. Known locally as "the square", it contains several shops, a police station, numerous banks and nearby is a Morrisons supermarket. In Kennessee Green there is a shopping area called Tree View Court. There are also the Meadows shops near to Maghull Town Hall and Deyes Lane shops near the end of Deyes Lane, about five or ten minutes walking distance from Deyes High School. Community In 1929, the Maghull Townswomen's Guild was formed. It later became the Maghull Summerhill Townswomen's Guild and was a Registered Charity, but closed in 2014. The Maghull Community Association on Green Lane provides live entertainment, family fun days and special events such as Christmas parties and ladies nights. In 2009, Maghull Town Hall was given a large extension costing £8.2million, and which included a library and sports facilities.
