    If a new roof can be put on this derelict building, why not the Florrie?


    What a great building

    There's some confusion over what it was built as.
    Most people, including Liverpool City Council call it the Scandinavian Hotel, but I don't think it was.
    It was Langdon's from at least 1889. (Source: 1890 street directory).
    The date of 1887 was painted when the new roof was put on, so I suspect that the owner knows something that we don't.
    (Probably that it was built in 1887 for Langdons.)
    I'm researching the history at the moment.

    St James Church, St James Place, Toxteth was closed in 1972 and suffered the ravages of vandalism. This historically important building is now looked after by the Churches' Conservation Trust who have carried out substantial repairs. More needs to be done. There is a plan to try and re-open the building as a church to serve the growing population in the area. See Rev. Neil Short's Liverpool Pioneer Ministry web site:

    they look like sand stone blocks, Marky, probably something to do with the canal link perhaps?

    Had a wander round All Saints graveyard,in childwall,(the oldest parish church in Liverpool!) and took some pic's of various memorial stones which,I thought, illustrated the age of the cemetary, and background, of some of the people buried there! From the simple,but effective, "Dearest Jack",to the rather more ornate family tomb, of Andrew Barclay Walker.(who funded the Walker art gallery) I was amused at the oldest one i came across,(1731)and the way the names and letters had been "made"to fit the stone
    (I did take more pic's, but batteries were failing)
