Derelict houses in Anfield, near the soccer ground of Liverpool FC blighted by planning decisions. Liverpool, Merseyside, UK
Derelict streets near Anfield Stadium in Liverpool, Merseyside, England. The football club's role in this neighbourhood's decline and planned resurrection has been a long-running issue. Many residents bitterly resented the club, a decade ago, for buying up houses on Skerries Road, next to Anfield, and leaving them empty in case the club ever wanted to knock the row down and expand the stadium. Then, in 2000, there was uproar about leaked plans worked up by Liverpool and the city council, without consultation, to build a new stadium and, in the process, demolish 1,800 houses.
