Church on Mount Vernon street

Hi

Does anyone know what happened to The Church of Our Lady of Mercy on Mount Vernon St? I'm assuming that it was demolished for expansion of the University Hospital.

It must have been-both sides of the street are hospital car parks and outbuildings. There's only sacred heart church left in that immediate area,and st mary's up the hill.

It's been demolished.

Hi
Thank you both. I've been of a bit of an internet wild goose chase trying to find the whereabouts of The Church of Our Lady of Mercy where my husband's ggrandparents were married. Just to confuse things, I found the Liverpool Area RC Marriage Index gave the church as Sacred Heart.
As the church was demolished, the records must have transferred to Sacred Heart.
Another little family history mystery solved! I wish all the places I'm searching had such brilliant forums like this and Merseyside Genealogy & History.

There was a convent called "Mount Vernon Convent of the Sisters of Mercy" and next door was "St Joseph's Select School" (Conducted by Sisters of Mercy). These were between Curzon Street and Bernard Street.
Were marriages held in Convents (apart from Brides of Christ)?
