Scrawled with graffiti, rubbish littered across the ground and urine-stained walls - is the way people have described one part of Liverpool city centre some feel has been neglected.
Moorfields railway station is the entrance to Liverpool's Business Quarter and soon one of the main travel routes into the city for Eurovision goers. The area, known as the Historic Downtown neighbourhood, is home to the Town Hall and a large group of prestigious listed buildings.
But when passengers leave at the main Moorfields exit they are met by a litany of empty former office blocks that have been long deserted. Weeds grow through the cracked paving outside the former Yates's Wine Lodge, while the ground floor windows of 2 Moorfields, once a buzzing office hub, are covered in years of dust and grime.
