St Phillip's Church, Hardman Street, viewed from St Lukes. St. Phillip's was on the same side as the Philharmonic pub.

Good pic' Darren,
that looks roughly where the jobcentre was,which was demolished not so long ago,(90's?)and it's still vacant land!
It was higher up the Street than that. WSteve55
It was on the block where the 'Fly in the Loaf' is now.
Good one :PDT_Piratz_26:Quote:

Doesn't really look finished, does it? Like they got the nave done but never got around to a tower or spire...
The gates and railings are quite reminiscient of St. Luke's across the road.
Sorry the 'view' was not exactly from St Luke's - that was me offering some general bearings to the picture.Quote:

St Phillip's Church is located directly beneath the letter "E" in 'Rodney'. So that would site it between Baltimore Street, Hardman Street, South Hunter Street [looks like on A-Z]. There's another street parallel to Hardman Street which I wasn't able to read on the map. Interestingly there was a Jewish Synagogue on the opposite side of the road, to the church.

Hi Darren,so Samp was right! The "Fly in the Loaf" pub,used to be a general grocery store,with a "by Royal appointment" sign over the door! It then became "Kirklands" wine bar. The street parallel,is Maryland st,I think
Hi Steve, that sounds about right. Maryland Street also rings a bell.Quote:

The Fly in the Loaf was originally a Kirklands bakery,part of a chain of bakery shops in Liverpool,hence the names Fly in the Loaf and Kirklands barQuote:

So the plot's history goes from - a Church - to Bakery - to a Bar.Quote:

I remember it well, the name of the shop was "Kirkland Jennings", my first job in 1954 was on the next block, we used to go there for pies and cakes for lunch. It was a combination bakery, tea shop and store. You could eat there with waitress service. The bakery goods were excellent, about the best you could get.Quote:

Jonathan Bennison's map of Liverpool [extract] 1835
[Image removed by request of the owner of www.leverpoole.co.uk]
According to my source, Atlantic House, now Hardman House was built on the site of the church in 1947 the Jewish Synagogue was Chaucers pub in the 1980s.
St Philip's Church was one of three of Cragg's cast-iron churches, and was replaced by St Philip's in Sheil Road (built 1885-90).
.
Apologies to www.leverpoole.co.uk for publishing the Jonathan Bennison map 1835 image. I'll see if I can photgraph at the LRO, next visit.
I've redone the St. Philip's [site of] map, as Hardman Street was no wider than Pilgram Street, back in 1835. That would place the Jewish Synagogue site patially over the current road.
The Jewish Synagogue later moved to Hope Place, this in turn closed and the building is now the home of the Unity Theatre.
Thanks GD,I knew it was something to do with food! The "By Royal Appointment" sign,is still there.Wonder why it went?Quote:

A few updates on the site of St Phillip's Church, Hardman Street.
St. Philip's Church was not on the site of the Fly in the Loaf pub, as we originally thought. It was on the land next to it, now occupied by the Victorian red bricked building leading up to South Hunter Street. Hopefully this should clear it up a little?

Image 3 ^ 1848 OS map large scale

Image 4 ^ St Phillip's Church, Hardman Street
The map above [image 3] confirms that this is the correct image for St Philip's [the original image was unsourced] ie: 8No. buttress walls along the nave, and 2No. at the ends. Also the entrance is in the right place, and the plan is consistant with a tower/ spire-less church.
The image also shows the corner wall edge of what might be the Fly in the Loaf building? It has the same masonry keying as the photographs, although the window's do not correspond....and the lower glazing of the current building is not shown. All of which may have been added/ altered afterwards?

Image 6 ^ Fly in the Loaf, Hardman Street
In image 4 the building being constructed [demolished?] is possibly the current Fly in the Loaf building? It looks like it's sitting further back from the road than the church gates? I assume that when the church was demolished, the developers had built right up to the edge of where the churchyard wall and gates where? And then following on - the ground floor bay windows to the Fly in the Loaf were added later to meet the new neighboring building, and new street line?
The red bricked building shown above is on the site of St Philip's Church.
D.
I think you're right about the masonry quoining in number 4 corresponding with the fly in the loaf. Any idea at all when number 4 was drawn?
that St Philip's church looks to have been slap bang on the site of an old haunt of mine, Stella Maris's 'Atlantic House' last known to be used as student accomodation for John Moores.
No sorry, I've been trying to fix the date myself but without success. It lies somewhere between 1816-1882 [life of the church].Quote:
