Paul McCartney of Beatles fame honed his singing skills in the St Barnabas choir in the 1950s
Philip, It's not Woolton as St Mary's is different - the spire in the background would make me believe that the location is correct and that the church is St Thomas Wavertree - but it's an educated guess.Quote:

St Nicks taken yesterday from Atlantic Towers
Speaking of St Nicks, does anyone have a large 1024x768 ish size of St Nick's Church. I'm looking to have the picture wider than it is taller (if that makes sense) but all the pictures I've got are of the tower only and I'm after one taken from say by Ma Boyles showing the lot.
It's for a website I'm doing at the moment and I'll give credit.
I should have a side view from the gardens on my PC somewhere. I nearly fell arse over tit talking it. I've got hundreds of photos in folders so I'll have to rummage to find it.Quote:

I was going to go down myself today but a, it's foggy, and b, I can't justify £10's worth of fuel for a single pic haha.
OOOOOOH MATRON!Quote:

This is in Crosshall Street, built in 1880 as Victoria Calvanistic Methodist Church but was sold to Liverpool Corporation in 1920. It`s next door to Westminster Chambers.
the times I've been passed there and I never knew that used to be a church.Quote:

Nice photo !! The history of this Welsh Chapel is to be found in the book " The Welsh of Merseyside " vol 1, p30. It seems the congregation moved there from their first chapel in Pall Mall. It was called the Victoria Chapel after the success of the Sankey & Moody evangelistic campaign held in 1875 in a large tent on Crosshall street called Victoria Hall.Quote:

An Ex chapel, this building was at one time a day school and Sunday school connected to St. John's church. This church stood immediately west of St. George's Hall in its own grounds with a cemetery. The Liverpool Corporation acquired the church and grounds, which were turned into St. John's Gardens at the beginning of the 20th century.
It is currently undergoing renovation into St. Patrick's Court apartments.

The only stained glass window I could see in St Nicks. Top of it reads" For the healing of the Nations"

The last photo reminds me that there are some great old photos of demolished Liverpool Churches in "The Churches of Liverpool" by David Lewis, but take note that at least two reviewers have said that "it's worth buying, but just for the pictures".
Aye, even the pictures didn't do it so much for me as I had a lot of them and he didn't have one of St. Joseph's (only an old illustration) even though it was only demolished in 1979.
I hope they reinstate the brass cross in the pavement near where the church stood. My gt grandparents married there

The flowers and note have been left by local campaigner Kay Kelly who was carried into this church very ill suffering from the latter effects of cancer. She recovered so is very attached to it naturally. She is appalled that when it closed, she had to prevent Italian artefacts being put into a skip outside, the Royal Philharmonic orchestra have applied for planning permission to rip it out and use it as rehearsal rooms to which Kay is oppossed. She has a dossier on the arch diocese and their dealings.
The Church was paid for by Walter Imrie of the White Star shipping line for
his step daughter Amy Elisabeth. The picture of Albion House where the shippng line was based before becoming the Pacific Steamship Navigation Co.[IMG]http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/e...x/P1020414.jpg[/IMG]
Brilliant pics again all.Well done.:handclap:
Hi does anybody have any pics or info about St Judes church Low Hill?
I remember when it was demolished as a kid in the mid sixties.
Yes, I know it's a pub now, but this is the oldest church building (1798 St Peter's RC) in the city centre.
