I used it as a coffee table for a while, it travelled with the rest of my gear to London and back- twice- and now lives in my back yard in Chester- possibly the most travelled memorial stone ever?
There's a block of flats on the site now, corner of Brompton Avenue.
Here it is:

We used to take all that for granted until it is gone and then there is a big void. I lived on the corner of Croxteth Rd and Hartington Rd. I left Liverpool, came back and the church was gone.
When I lived around there, apart for the cars on the roads, it could have been the 1870s. Everything was still the same.
