Old Crosses

[Gnomie]

I have started this here to move it from the "guess the location thread"

We seem to be finding similar crosses in West Derby, Huyton and Bromborough

here is the huyton one



do you know of any more?

this one is in Childwall, but not the same as the others.

Nice idea for a thread Gnomie.

The Garston Cross is to be found in the grounds of St Francis of Assisi Roman catholic Church. Earp St where it was re- erected from its previous location at the junction of Chapel Rd and Earp St. Originally it was sited alongside the Garston Brook near the junction of the present day St Mary's Rd and Church Rd.

Great to see, thanks, Kev!

Can someone come up with a pic of the cross at Hunt's Cross?

I'll post a pic tonight of the Hunts Cross. It's located 2 minutes walk from Hunts Cross train station. Head South out of the station towards the main crossroads. At the crossroads just look to the right...its surrounded by some railings, by a Bank.

Many thanks, marky. I'll look forward to it. I am familiar with cross because one of my aunts lived on Higher Road and we would pass it on the Crosville bus on the way to her house.

Looking forward to it too.

Has anyone got the Roby Cross? i may get up there to take one. i believe its on Roby road.

[marky]

The Hunts Cross...located at the junction where Hillfoot Road and Hillfoot Avenue meet (just before the crossroads with Speke Road).
I've seen pics on the 'net of the Roby and Cronton crosses, but I'll get pics of my own sometime.

Great to see, marky, many thanks. I also look forward to seeing you pics of the Roby and Cronton crosses if you can manage them as well.

I suppose I'll have to go Bromborough some time this week.

I have got photos - somewhere - but it's finding them!

There is also a Saxon "preaching cross" at Bromborough.

Thanks, Philip. That would be wonderful if you could get photos of those crosses "across the water."
