An empty property in Merseyside is believed to have caused huge issues during the 1960s, according to a local historian.
The house located on Back Bolton Street in St Helens was nicknamed the "House of Shame" by newspapers in the height of its notoriety due to a number of issues, reports the Liverpool Echo.
A major sticking point for local residents was the foul smell descending from the property, which did not have a toilet. A "makeshift" toilet was made in one of the rooms - providing a legitimate explanation for their grievances.
