A Merseyside village is almost 1,000 years old but does not have a single street light.
Little Crosby was first documented in 1066 and is believed to be one of the oldest existing Roman Catholic villages in the country. Keeping hold of its tradition and history the village opted out of having street lights installed during the 20th century.
The village is home to acres of original cottages built as far back as the 17th century and 29 buildings in the village are recorded in the National Heritage List for England. The village only has one school whose history dates back to the sixties
