This is the former home of FA Premier League club, Manchester City.
The club now reside at the City of Manchester Stadium, used for the 2002 Commonwealth Games. (Still under construction on this map.)
Demolition began in late 2003, taking seven months. Two years later the go-ahead was given for a new housing development to take part on the site, consisting of 474 homes.
