I'd never really paid any attention to this beautiful building until yesterday, but I think it's very nice indeed. I don't know much about it other than that the sign says it's the Greek Orthodox Church Of St. Nicholas. The church is just by the Rialto in Toxteth.

St Michaels in St Michaels Hamlet,designed by Thomas Rickman who also designed the"iron church" St Georges in Everton. Built by John Cragg the owner of the Mersey Iron Foundry and friend of the designer so both churches used cast iron in abundance.
Nice pics of St Michaels, I know that there is some rivalry between St Michaels-in-the-Hamlet and St. Georges, Everton over who was the first 'cast iron church'.
Both were built by Cragg/Rickman, St Georges I think was first... but the argument runs that a lot of St Georges superstructure is still in stone, whereas St Michaels is entirely cast iron, with brick basically 'filling the gaps'.
I'm no engineer so I can't tell you if that's right, but it's what i've heard!
I've seen some pic's of the inside of here,and it's amazing! Must try to visit during the next heritage week!:nod:Quote:

Thanks for posting this one Samp. As well as St Nicholas Greek Church, it shows the Welsh Presbyterian Church with its roof still on and also the derelict Georgian terrace in Berkley St, opposite the Greek Church. Photos of this latter building are rare too.Quote:

The Children`s Chapel in Christ the Kings cathedral. The sculpture is by Stephen Foster and is a gift from a member of the Liverpool Chinese Community.
The tapestry is by Jill Hutchison and was inspired by the Formby coastline where she lives
Thankyou all :)

More fine photos Joe, many family connection reminders for me. I particularly liked your shot of SFX with the two cathedrals, showed what a great perspective eye you have.

St Mary of the Angels on Fox St,sadly closed now,despite a long stuggle by the congregation to keep it open.The doors are still decorated with flowers and pictures.
At least this beautiful building is still standing. I believe the RC archdiocese were all for demolishing this gem. I seem to recall it will be used as practice space for the Liverpool PhilharmonicQuote:

The deep excavations and unfinished stonework whilst the wood carvings are protected by wooden casing. The debris truck is dwarfed by the size of the vaulted area.

George Siddall was engineer to the dean. Sadly a direct hit on his house which was right facing the Cathedral resulted in his death and also the death of his wife and child. This is the scene of the clear up afterwards. The Cathedral took direct hits during the May blitz of 1941, a bad time for the progress of the work as the previous winter had seen the worst conditions since records began, with blizzards and freezing fog which meant work almost came to a standstill between the January and the March 1940.

Other photos relating to the progress of the building were posted onto this page of my site yesterday. Please scroll right down to near the very bottom.
