This fine church was lost for the construction of the Royal Liverpool teaching hospital in the mid 1960s. It congregation was once supplied by the myriad of residential streets on both sides of Prescot Street when it was a built up area. These included those in its immediate surroundings such as Iden Street, Jubille Street, Hardwick Square, Cecil Street, Montague Street, Hardwick Street, Hyde Street, Stand Street, West Street and Fortescue Street. Just across the main Prescot Street were Childwall Street, Prospect Street, Shepherd Street, Moira Street, Croft Street, Epworth Street, Codrington Street, Harper Street, Ashley Street, Wrigley Street, Manfred Street, Belgrave Street and Chapel Place.
The other local church serving this area, Sacred Heart, still survives alongside the hospital. Some of the streets mentioned above, I have already posted pictures of elsewhere on here.

This was the former St Judes school, attached to the church but dis-attached physically as it over the other side of Daulby Street on Oakes Street. The building was/is recently used as a gymnasium.
