"St James became redundant in 1974, "
My cousin was one of the last to be married there. Friends of mine helped out painting the place.
"and was vested into the care of the Churches Conservation Trust in 1976. It may have become redundant because of plans to construct Junction 1 of the M62 motorway on the site."
Pull it down to make a motorway junction!! Those people must have had brain damage.
The new Amsterdam at Liverpool?

Deprived of its unique dockland waters Liverpool
becomes a Venice without canals, just another city, no
longer of special interest to anyone, least of all the
tourist. Would we visit a modernised Venice of filled in
canals to view its modern museum describing
how it once was?

I need to have a nose up the tower at some point! Never been in that church yet!
I donated the domain name and have waived the annual hosting fees. I just wish I could contribute more.
that would be fascinating sir!
dunno if i want it to be a mosque but it would be better than having it pulled down or left to rot as it is now
There were plans to turn it into flats in the 1980s.
The building is not being left to rot. It has been substantially repaired a, replastered, rewired, reglazed, roof fixed etc. It's sad that it had to close and then was severely vandalised by the locals. So there was extensive internal damage only part of which has been repaired. Of course if people had continued to use it as a church, there would have been no need to close the building with the conseqent need to now find other uses such as a mosque.
Thanks for the pics Taffy
such a beautiful interior.
Thanks for pics
Does anyone have a contact for the church - when it is next open and the like? I did contact one of the bods via their e-mail address which was posted on a previous posting but no reply as such.
A crime to let this go to waste and a crime to turn it in to anything else other than its purpose.
I did hear half-a-milion Pounds was spent repairing this this church a few years ago. I wonder when all the clocks will be returned?
This building is usually on the Heritage Open Day list...Sept or Oct usually?
