St Marys parish church in Knowsley Village. This was taken from the cemetry
across the road from the church, I presume the churchyard was full so they
started another burial ground. The church stands on its own land surrounded by 4 lanes with 3 lych gates

It's not getting fixed up. Just a temporary repair completed last year to try and stop the building falling down

Graham and Carol Emmas, The Last Victim: The Extraordinary Life of Florence Maybrick, the Wife of Jack the Ripper, London: Headline Books, 1999:

"On Monday 27 May [1889], sixteen days after the death of James Maybrick, the inquest was again opened, this time at the Wellington Reading Room, which had been the old police court, in Garston. . . . Dr Beamish from Walton Prison testified that she was too ill to attend. . . ." (pp. 94-95) It was rumored that she had had a miscarriage in prison -- the child of her lover, Alfred Brierley. At this session, the coroner ordered that Maybrick's remains in Anfield Cemetery be disinterred. "On the morning of 5 June Florence was taken from Walton Prison to attend the adjourned inquiry at Garston." (pp. 99) A waiter from Flatman's Hotel in London identified her in an anteroom of the reading room, rather than in the main meeting room, and then testified in open court that she had been the woman who had stayed with Brierley at the London hotel some months earlier. After the day's session, she stayed the night at Lark Lane county police station. She would remain in the same anteroom through most of the testimony on the following day as well, but was brought into open court to hear the verdict that the coroner's jury concluded that James Maybrick "was wilfully murdered by you." (p. 105)

Hi

I am trying to locate a picture of Mry's Church, Kirkdale, which was demolished around 1979.

My parents were married here in 1958 and any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Chris

Can anyone also help with any info about Saint Athanasius (or Saint Aths to
most of the locals)? A pic would be a bonus. Stan H

This one's over the water, but I thought I'd add it as its not often you see a church shuttered up like this.

This is the former catholic church in Hoylake Road, Birkenhead.
