Torus set to redevelop football club’s historic site

Liverpool FC’s Melwood training ground has been snapped up by a local housing association.

The club has confirmed that local firm Torus has bought the West Derby complex and is in the early stages of coming up with a plan for the 5ha site.

The club, which kicks off the new Premier League season tonight with a home game against newly promoted Norwich City, has used its historic Melwood base since the 1950s but is moving to new facilities elsewhere in the city.
