(ISBN: 978-1-5272-3023-1) it retraces the footsteps of Bradfordian author J.B. Priestley. Anfield Football Stadium was built in 1884. The stadium has been home to Liverpool FC since the club’s formation in 1892 as a result of the original tenants - Everton Football Club - leaving the ground. The turf is renewed every season with grass seed obtained from horticultural suppliers Rigby Taylor of Bolton. In 1906 local journalist, Ernest Edwards christened a new stand ‘Spion Kop’ after a Boer War battle. The engagement cost British forces 243 lives, many of them from Liverpool, as they failed to capture a strategic hilltop.
