History of Anfield
Anfield was one of Liverpool's fashionable northern suburbs until the mid-Victorian era, when rapid industrial expansion changed its character. Anfield Cemetery contains memorials to the victims of the 1989 Hillsborough disaster. The stadium itself opened in 1884 and was first home to Everton FC before Liverpool was founded in 1892.
Understanding the history and character of Anfield helps explain why the housing stock here may be well suited for solar panels installations. Victorian and Edwardian properties in particular often feature south-facing roof pitches that can be well suited for solar panels performance in the Liverpool climate.
