as you are in Oz when you use Google change the AU bit to CO.UK then you can choose just to search in UK pages. that should save you a lot of search time. :PDT_Piratz_26:Quote:

Very good, qg.
I went in for close-ups and made sure the camera was resting on something.
I'll put more in the stained-glass thread tonight.

St Anthony`s on Scotland Rd,taken from Everton Park yesterday. A ship is making it`s way down the Mersey.As I am posting this I`m hearing that there was a fire in there caused by a candle on the altar falling onto the carpet which means the church will be closed for a few days.
Is St Anthonys another Rickman job? It looks strikingly similar to the print og St Judes above.
Great pic Joe but afraid it'll be a few weeks not days, Ron Formby from the Scottie Press discovered the fire when he and Rita opened up last week, the main space was cloaked in smoke like a fog he said.

Here's a little bit about the church and parish Fortinian.Quote:

St. Oswald's church Old Swan was built in 1842.
Quote from a book on the Parish Church:
"St. Oswald's Church was built by the exertions and self sacrifice of the Very Rev John Cannon Maddocks. The Architect was Augustus Welby Puglin. The foundation stone was laid in 1839 and the church was opened on the 4th August 1842. Cannon Maddocks died on 4th March 1864.
The book I have also has an article on the "Strange secret of Old Swan", which was about the 3,561 corpses found next to the church when they were going to build the new school. This is mentioned on another thread in here I think.
I do have pics to upload but I think "Yo" just doesn't like me as it doesn't seem to want to let me.... :PDT10
To save you the time of reading through that huge document (and still not getting an answer to your question), the architect was John Broadbent (1833). :)Quote:

Trinity Church on the corner of Rice Lane and Orrel Lane,built in 1898. It fell into a state of disrepair but has been renovated and is now used as a medical centre. They have made a very good job of it exept for one very minor thing they put skylights on the roof.
Great picture :handclap:
Thanks Lindylou
did you happen to notice of there was a war memorial there ?Quote:

If I remember rightly, the back of this church was destroyed, not sure how and rebuilt at some point. I think the buildings alongside the church, currently used as some sort of community centre, pre date the church. Can anyone confirm and got any pics?:)Quote:

Greenbank Drive Hebrew Congregation Synagogue, Toxteth, consecrated 1937.
Architect: A.E.Shennan.
Closed 8 January 2008.
Listed: Grade II*.
If it looks something like a cinema, it's because A E Shennan was better known for designing more cinemas in Liverpool than anybody else.
It'll be interesting to see what it will be used for in the future.
Grade II* Listing means it's rated higher than most Listed Buildings.

Great pictures of St. Luke's, Philip! :handclap:
Excellent Pictures Philip.
I'm amazed that nothing has been ever done about the Bell Frame. It was the first ever metal bell frame anywhere in the world and it's still at the top of the tower.

All information here from a book called "St. Oswald's Old Swan 1842 - 1992"
St. Oswald’s Church was opened in 1842, built form a design by Welby Pugin. The land it was built on was a gift from Mr Edward Chaloner of Oak Hill House.
The church was partly rebuilt between 1951 and 1957 from a design by Adrian Gilbert Scott.
The Parish population was increasing due to the tenements, St oswalds House, St Oswalds Gardens and Husrt Gardens. The Average Attendance On a Sunday was 3,200, whilst the church itself could hold approx 500. The ground behind the the east end was cleared in the 1930's at a cost of nearly £1,400. Then came the war and plans to extend were put on hold. Work recommenced and was completed in 1956.
Cannon Maddocks was the first parish priest and is remembered by a local street named after him, just off St. Oswalds St.
During the building of St. Oswald’s Primary School in the 1973 they found the remains of over 3,500 bodies, some buried 16 deep in places. The bodies were exhumed , cremated and reinterred at Anfield Cemetery.
1989 - Gales damaged the spire and it had to be rebuilt.
