A popular Liverpool social club and football pitches that "everybody loved" has had a key reminder of its past saved.
For more than 60 years, the Edinburgh Park Dockers' Club, off Townsend Lane, had been a proud hub, not just for the surrounding Anfield and Clubmoor community, but for the city. The site started its life as a brickworks and clay pit and later became the home of Breck Park Stadium, a Greyhound track, in April 1927.
But following a fire that swept through the stadium, the greyhound track closed. The grounds later hosted sports and social activities for Merseyside dock workers, their families and the wider community from 1949 and in April 1953, The Duke of Edinburgh famously opened the Merseyside dockers' sports stadium and it was named Edinburgh Park.
