St Phillips church Hardman St

**Ged** · 11-20-2009

According to my source, Atlantic House, now Hardman House was built on the site of the church in 1947 the Jewish Synagogue was Chaucers pub in the 1980s.

St Philip's Church was one of three of Cragg's cast-iron churches, and was replaced by St Philip's in Sheil Road (built 1885-90).

Apologies to www.leverpoole.co.uk for publishing the Jonathan Bennison map 1835 image. I'll see if I can photgraph at the LRO, next visit.

I've redone the St. Philip's [site of] map, as Hardman Street was no wider than Pilgram Street, back in 1835. That would place the Jewish Synagogue site patially over the current road.

The Jewish Synagogue later moved to Hope Place, this in turn closed and the building is now the home of the Unity Theatre.

And O'Connors Tavern before that.

Ah, O'Connor's. That was probably the first pub in town I got taken to as a green north-ender. A fat bloke was reciting poetry in there, I suspect it was Adrian Henry. I got offered a pound deal in the bogs but didn't know what it was. Such innocence...

As a clued up south-ender I knew exactly what O'Connors Tavern was about.

Great pub!
