WORK has started on a £2.5m project to restore Britain’s first mosque.

The derelict grade II listed Georgian Brougham Terrace in Tuebrook is to be transformed into a heritage and education centre.

This month work began on treating the dry rot in the timbers and repairing the roof to make it watertight.



Now fundraisers are facing a race against time to raise £150,000 to cover the cost of the work.

The project is a tribute to Liverpool lawyer William Henry Quilliam, who converted to Islam after visiting Morocco in 1887 and changed his name to Abdullah Quilliam.
