The Reds first team vacated their long-standing home in the West Derby area of the city in August as they moved into a £50m purpose-built facility on the site of their own academy in nearby Kirkby. Regeneration group Torus took ownership of Melwood and developed ambitious plans for a mixed-use affordable and sustainable housing scheme with community connections.
