Anfield, Liverpool

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Anfield is a district of Liverpool, England and a Liverpool City Council Ward.

Originally common pasture land, the area had the name of Hanging-fields or Hangfield the name originating from the deeply sloping (or 'hanging') nature of the terrain. The name was also frequently written as Hongfield or Honghfield. In Gore's paper of 26th July 1810, certain fields are advertised as "Fields in Walton-on-the-Hill, called Hanging-fields".

It is the home of Anfield Stadium, the home of Liverpool F.C. and the original home of Everton F.C., who now play over Stanley Park at Goodison Park in Walton.
