Your claim of Herbert J. Rowse, being "Liverpool's greatest architect" [forgive me, as you did say it's an opinion]. I'd like to throw a challenger into the ring:
John Foster Junior - Custom House; St Luke's Church [part]; St John's market [now demolished]; St Andrew's Scottish Church, Rodney Street; St Michael's Church, Pitt Street; Rebuild of St. George's Church, Derby Square; Public Baths, St George's Dock; The [New Brighton] Rock Lighthouse; Aintree racecourse grandstand; The Moorish Arch; The Necropolis Cemetery [Anglican Cathedral site].
----
St Martin's Bank - I wonder if the ceiling sculptural relief was inspired by the Sailor's Home? Anyone notice the elephant in the room? The figure of an African child chosen as subject matter for the sculpture.
Remember the African child reliefs in the entrance vestibule which was covered in a previous thread -
Barclay's (Martin's) Bank Doors Linked to Slavery?.
