Two clubs, two stadium stories and the park between them
Anfield has been the home of Liverpool Soccer Club since the club was formed in 1892. Liverpool's own booking site lists stadium tours and the LFC Museum, which it describes as displaying the club's major trophies together. Stanley Park, a 110-acre park laid out by Edward Kemp and opened in 1870, lies beside the ground.
Everton are the city's other Premier League club. Their home was Goodison Park, which opened in 1892 in Walton, and the club's website lists Goodison Park tours as well as tours of the new Hill Dickinson Stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock. Much of north Liverpool's history sits between the two clubs, in Everton's churches, parks and old lock-up.
