Paul McCartney of Beatles fame honed his singing skills in the St Barnabas choir in the 1950s

Can you help?
It's been posted to "Old Liverpool" and the poster thinks it might be south Liverpool, perhaps Woolton.

Philip, It's not Woolton as St Mary's is different - the spire in the background would make me believe that the location is correct and that the church is St Thomas Wavertree - but it's an educated guess.

Incidentally, does anyone have a pic of St Luke's Great Crosby?

St Nicks taken yesterday from Atlantic Towers

Speaking of St Nicks, does anyone have a large 1024x768 ish size of St Nick's Church. I'm looking to have the picture wider than it is taller (if that makes sense) but all the pictures I've got are of the tower only and I'm after one taken from say by Ma Boyles showing the lot.

It's for a website I'm doing at the moment and I'll give credit.

I should have a side view from the gardens on my PC somewhere. I nearly fell arse over tit talking it. I've got hundreds of photos in folders so I'll have to rummage to find it.

I have this one, but I'm thinking you want the base too?

[Cadfael]

I'd love the base too if it's on offer

I was going to go down myself today but a, it's foggy, and b, I can't justify £10's worth of fuel for a single pic haha.

OOOOOOH MATRON!

No worries I've got to go to Paradise St bus station to meet my Nan at lunchtime, so I'll get a train to Moorfields and stroll down and see if I can get a decent pic for you on the way.
It is quite dull today and my camera is not state of the art but I'll do me utty.

This is in Crosshall Street, built in 1880 as Victoria Calvanistic Methodist Church but was sold to Liverpool Corporation in 1920. It`s next door to Westminster Chambers.

the times I've been passed there and I never knew that used to be a church.

seems despite all my years of reading local history there's still so much to learn

Nice photo !! The history of this Welsh Chapel is to be found in the book " The Welsh of Merseyside " vol 1, p30. It seems the congregation moved there from their first chapel in Pall Mall. It was called the Victoria Chapel after the success of the Sankey & Moody evangelistic campaign held in 1875 in a large tent on Crosshall street called Victoria Hall.

GD's pic reminded me of this one in Gt Crosshall street.






An Ex chapel, this building was at one time a day school and Sunday school connected to St. John's church. This church stood immediately west of St. George's Hall in its own grounds with a cemetery. The Liverpool Corporation acquired the church and grounds, which were turned into St. John's Gardens at the beginning of the 20th century.

It is currently undergoing renovation into St. Patrick's Court apartments.
