This charming old church has been a second hand furniture store for at least 50 years. Originally it was built by the Church of England for services in Welsh for the local Welsh speaking population. It was a daughter church nearby St Nathaniel's

The interior of St Chads,Kirkby. Notice the difference in the pillars on each side. The story is that Kirkby tenants and Simonswood couldn`t agree which
ones to have so they solved it by octagonal on the left and round ones on the right. Every Harvest Festival, Kirkby farmers decorated the left hand pillars and Simonswood the right. The church was started in 1869 using sandstone from the local quarries of Kirkby and Melling.

Please, does anyone have a pic of St. John's, Everton? It stood on the corner of Richmond Terrace and Breck Road and was demolished in the 70's. I joined the choir 'there cos I fancied Dave Alderdice!!! I spent many great years there in the choir, Girl's Life Brigade etc, till we were shipped out to Huyton to a house with an inside loo. I've looked loads of places but haven't found a pic anywhere. I have, however, a nice print of Frank Green's, showing the church half demolished. If anyone can help, that'd be great.
PS. Must've done something right - I'm still singing in a church choir even now. :-)
Try the Liverpool Record Office, they may have a photo. A further source might be the Church Congress Meetings that were held in Liverpool around the turn of the 20th C. The proceedings have photos of some now long gone churches. Again copies will be at the Record Office, Central Library, Liverpool

This is the interior of St Francis Xaviers church in Salisbury St. There is an exhibition in there at present of relics such as Mary Queen of Scots prayer book,Thomas Moore`s hat and various other things.I was in there yesterday
thought I`d look for my initials which I carved about 1949 but I think they have changed the pews since then.

When I was a youngster - many moons ago - I went to St. Chrysostom's church...morning service, Sunday school and evening service every week. There always semed to be plenty to do there and lots of things to join. I think the Vicar I remember was called Bretherton and he often invited groups of us back to the vicarage for a bit of a social evening after the service. His wife always had home-made cakes and biscuits ready for us and I seem to recall the house was always warm. These days if a vicar invited children back to his home he'd be arrested
I think the church was demolished in the 1970's but I wonder if anyone has any pictures of it or can recommend a website.
