    St. James's Church ~ Sorry it's not very clear. I took it from the 82 Bus.

    It looks quite dreamlike.

    Do you have an 'Action' or 'Sports' setting?
    They work well from a bus (or train).

    It's only a throw-away Kodak that I got from the Chemist at the top of Beresford Road, next to Sayers. I am saving up to get myself a good camera but I need a computer first. I can't keep using my cousin's PC. Will you send God 'Round to Ours with his *Money Cart?* he he he

    St Lukes, Berry Street: I heard the sound of bells when I went past this church today, which I thought was unusual. There are old photographs around the railings and an 'open' sign outside.

    The church is open for all to wonder around in until September I think (could be wrong) but I think this is the one chance you'll get to have a good nose inside the building.
    I may head up there tomorrow with the camera. The bells are probably from a recording and are not the original sound of the bells - these were recorded once before WW2 by the BBC and they lost the recording

    From the Liverpool Heritage Forum Newsletter for May.

    An interesting collection of photos of Liverpool during the World War II blitz is attached to the fence around St Luke’s Church. Liverpool suffered more bomb damage than any city in England apart from London but this was hushed up by the government of the time because Liverpool was the only port open throughout the war and the government did not wish it to appear to be greatly damaged. One of the panels of this exhibition says that the people of Liverpool suffered greatly (true) but that they did not know what they were suffering for! Relatives of those who strove (and died) to maintain public services in extremely difficult circumstances at the time would say that their ancestors had the clearest possible idea of what the war was about - stopping Nazi brutality taking over our country! Political correctness should respect some limits!

    And this is how one of the well-written, well-researched pieces start:

    Royal Court Theatre
    Rob Ainsworth 2 March 2007

    Built in the 12th Century in 1826



    I'm still trying to figure out what that means!
    If a date is given, there's no point in saying what century it was.
    It can't be a typo, because '2' is nowhere near '9'.

    Ha ha. I didn't know Rob Ainsworth built the Royal Court or that it was that old.

    Do these posts appear as you're typing them?
    Ged managed to have his answer up at the same time as I submitted the piece.

    The previous Royal Court was built in 1826, so he got that right!

    I have a feeling these blocks are from St Thomas, Park Lane. They are within a compound near to Joseph Williamsons vault.

    Spot on - all the graves are still there and all the gravestones are still there too, but they were part of the church that were taken up when they put the road through.

    I think you mean 18th century not 19th. The 19th century started in 1850 not 1800. Never mind education is free to those you require it.
