Sleepy Liverpool street became the centre of an armed terror operation

"My daughter opened the front door and got screamed at to get back inside."

This was the first Jon Egan knew about a major anti-terror operation taking place just yards from his house one year ago today. Mr Egan, like other residents of Rutland Avenue, would find his world turned upside down in the hours and days that followed.

It may sound cliched but Rutland Avenue is not a street you would expect to be caught up in a huge police operation. It's a quiet road of big houses on the edge of Sefton Park in a fairly affluent part of south Liverpool. Its properties are predominantly taken up by families, while a number have been converted into shared houses for students and young professionals.
