Well done Mandy, great pics. There's just room under those inscriptions for Robbo woz ere 2007.
here's some pics of the interior
Look at the Churches
- St. Michaels in the Hamlet (built by the same man who built St George's)
- St James' Church
Both of iron construction.
Also look at Oriel Chambers in Water St in Liverpool (the world's first iron framed glass curtain walled building (1864) and 16 Cook St, similar, two years later. Most modern buildings are based on the construction methods of these two buildings.
16 Cook St is my favourite building of any anywhere. A magic little building that even has a cantilevered encased in glass, spiral staircase at the back (out of view for the public).
Hi,
frist: happy new year. :-)
Now my question: Does somebody of you know why the door of the st. george church is red?
I have know idea and for me it make no sense. ;-)

Following is a poem of mine that I posted on the Liverpool 800 Poems site.
The Blake Mistake
Henri took Ginsberg to St. George’s, Everton,
chill church interior constructed of cast iron:
iron columns, vaulted ribs, window tracery,
all transported via horse-drawn dray from
Cragg’s Forge, Toxteth. As they emerged
from the iron cathedral, the scribes laughed
to see “Blake Street,” reminded of William Blake,
eighteenth century poet, madman, artist: unaware
the street name derived not from the Tyger man
who had warned of England’s dark satanic mills,
but Cromwell's ironsided admiral, Robert Blake.
Each cherished the talismanic moment in his heart;
William Blake’s ghost fertilized his muse to the root.
