Liverpool are moving on from their famous Melwood training ground this week. 

The Reds have been using Melwood since the 1950s but, as reported by The Mirror, Liverpool are moving into a new £50 million state-of-the-art training base at Kirkby. 

It is the end of an era for the club and the Liverpool captain was one man who had to say goodbye yesterday afternoon. 

Jordan Henderson arrived at Melwood back in 2011 and after initially struggling to win over the fans at Anfield he has developed into a popular leader at Liverpool, helping them win a first Premier League title last season. 

He took to Twitter the post a goodbye to the training ground where he has developed from a 21-year-old prospect to a club and international regular. 

Liverpool fans, like Henderson, are undoubtedly sad to say goodbye to their long-term home for daily work. 

The hope however is that the new base will help take Liverpool into an even more impressive future and the club can build upon the brilliant work Jurgen Klopp has done since arriving on Merseyside.

Hopefully, the new home will end up creating just as many happy memories as Melwood did.
