Boarded up houses on Edge Lane, Liverpool, Merseyside, England, UK. Edge Lane is a main road running from the periphery of Liverpool city centre at Hall Lane, West towards the M62 motorway's 'Rocket Junction'. The road narrows to a single lane at the west end where most of the buildings either side can be seen boarded up in preparation for demolition after being purchased by Liverpool city council under a compulsory purchase order. Work on this part of the development was seriously delayed when the compulsory purchase order was challenged in the high court on a technical matter by one property owner - effectively ending the development until it was resolved. In the meantime the properties were given a fresher look for the capital of culture year (2008) by being covered in colourful decorated boarding showing images culturally important to the city - Copyright owned photograph by David J Colbran 0044 0 7810 321 634
