    The days and weekends I've spent in that church on the rehanging of the bells in the tower, I must know that church inside out!

    Trinity Church on the corner of Rice Lane and Orrel Lane,built in 1898. It fell into a state of disrepair but has been renovated and is now used as a medical centre. They have made a very good job of it exept for one very minor thing they put skylights on the roof.

    The book I have also has an article on the "Strange secret of Old Swan", which was about the 3,561 corpses found next to the church when they were going to build the new school. This is mentioned on another thread in here I think.
    I do have pics to upload but I think "Yo" just doesn't like me as it doesn't seem to want to let me....
    If I remember rightly, the back of this church was destroyed, not sure how and rebuilt at some point. I think the buildings alongside the church, currently used as some sort of community centre, pre date the church. Can anyone confirm and got any pics?

    Greenbank Drive Hebrew Congregation Synagogue, Toxteth, consecrated 1937.
    Architect: A.E.Shennan.
    Closed 8 January 2008.
    Listed: Grade II*.

    If it looks something like a cinema, it's because A E Shennan was better known for designing more cinemas in Liverpool than anybody else.

    It'll be interesting to see what it will be used for in the future.
    Grade II* Listing means it's rated higher than most Listed Buildings.
