UK - Liverpool - Liverpool dereliction landscape

A solitary person walks over wasteland in Liverpool, England, left after housing was demolished decades ago - its impoverished population having moved out for a better life elsewhere. the sign tells us the name of this road but paint has been daubed over it in an attempt perhaps, to erase its identity now that the community has gone too. Billboards for consumer goods are on show for non-existent shoppers.
