Thanks Robbo 176. Really good sketch of St Chrysostoms. Would like someone to provide a photo though. I will have to dig around to see if I have one (don't think I do) if so it will be black and white. Ta so much for the sketch though.

Hey all
Does anyone know of any pics of St Pauls church which was on the bottom of Belvedere Road up until the 70's?

It took its name from St Paul's, St Paul's Square, near Exchange Station.
Along with the Cunard Building, it was one of the few major buildings in Liverpool where building work was allowed to continue during the First World War.
(For instance work on St Philip Neri in Catharine Street was delayed so much that it didn't open until 1920.)
St Paul's opened in 1916 and had been designed by Giles Gilbert Scott while he was working on his masterpiece, the Anglican Cathedral.
I like St Paul's, especially for its very unusual design, which looks quite Continental to me.

Nice photo Philip. Unfortunately the functionality of this church's design left a lot to be desired and it suffered from damp penetration for many years. Hopefully the recent renovation work has solved this problem.

When new.
Showing Berry Street before it was widened at the turn at the 20th century.
The other tower belonged to St Mark's Church in Upper Duke Street, which was the largest church in Liverpool.

This old church is on Sandown Lane Wavertree. I believe it's due for renovation. It was replaced by a new church in Victoria Park which itself was taken over by the Church of England in the early 1950s and redicated as St Mary's. For a time the Sandown lane building was a Methodist Sunday school.

Be good to post our fave churches, architecture wise, interesting facts, location etc..

Hello everyone, I just registered today but have been a browser for ages, and this thread got me in

I used to go to St Nics before it moved to Brownlow Hill when it was at the back of the Adelphi, and I can't find ANY picture of either the Church ( St Nicholas Pro Cathederal Hawke Street) or the old School.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

It was known as the German Church.

Dotn know if there's any truth in it at all but somebody told me about 10 years ago that St Pauls was built as a sort of test run for a much bigger version that was ging to be built somewhere else, 8 times the size.
