It is no trouble to me because this church is only 30 seconds away from my house by walk..
It is a great building,excellent landmark...I reckon the setreet I live on is named after this church...

To me this church is part of Central Park even wall has been built all around to seperate...
Bad news is this church is not serving public almost more than 2 years now ..Empty..Locked doors..No service at all..It is shame really...About 4 years ago when my Armanian friends came to visit me from Istanbul they attended this church for Christmas carol..Whenever we talk on the phone they do ask about this Church..I am not a good lier so telling them truth and they are getting upset .

Unless it get protected properly today youths will destroy this building as well..:disgust:

By the way thanks for all nice comments about photos..If anyone want to use it more than welcome...If anyone need original size pls do not hesitate to ask.

It's sad this St John's church has had to close down. Clearly the local people stopped attending. No doubt in time they'll realise what an asset they have lost. The church was built for his clergyman son by Sir John Tobin who lived in the big house in what is now Central Park. Sir John is buried in the church's graveyard. The family made their initial wealth out of the slave trade.

Just one of the very desirable houses in Wellington Road that overlook the Irish Sea.
The ground is so steep that the ground floor at the front is the first floor at the back!
At the turn of the 20th century this house was owned by James Kiernan, a Liverpool theatre owner.
Among his theatres were the Park Palace in Mill Street, the Paddington Palace and the Tivoli Palace in Lime Street (later the Palais de Luxe).
He also built the Irving Theatre in Seacombe.
I had a flat in this house in the 1970s.
