There's articles that say KJT came from Netherley. The Independent dated 4 August 2021 says, "The 28-year-old has emerged from humble beginnings on the Netherley estate on Merseyside to become Great Britain’s latest golden heptathlon hope ... Johnson-Thompson is a battler who has fought to become a star from unspectacular beginnings on the Netherley estate on Merseyside." Olympics.com website also says she came from Netherley, page dated 11 June 2021, "The 2019 world champion has been quite outspoken about her realities of growing up in Netherley, a once run-down 'notorious' council estate, as a mixed raced girl with the ambition to become a great athlete." and "Despite coming from a dance background on her mother’s side and initially giving it a shot, it wasn’t long before Johnson-Thompson was swapping tutus for Steven Gerrard shirts and kicking about a football on the streets of Netherley in Liverpool."
