Etymology
Warbreck means "look-out hill", from Old Norse varŏi "look-out" and brekka "hill (in the sense 'cairn')". The etymology is the same as that of Warbreck (Lancashire). The place-name was recorded as Varebrikke in 1035.
The ward is home to the salubrious Walton Jail, colloquially known as the Hornby Hotel or the Big House.
Councillors
The ward has returned six Councillors[2] Labour gained two councillors in 2007, one at the May local elections, and one in a by-election held in September 2007 after the death of Cllr Lang. The winner Cllr McLinden successfully defended his seat in May 2008.
