Ducie Street, Liverpool One of numerous streets of Victorian terraced houses condemned to, or at least slated for, demolition under the misguided 'Pathfinder' initiative which ran from 2002 to 2011. Liverpool seems to have been more afflicted than anywhere else. In 2022, these houses were still standing, but were still empty and deteriorating.
