This place has always been one of those buildings you go past quite a bit, you know its not going anywhere and it's prime for a root round!
Well I finally went for that root round inside the Welsh Presbyterian Church in Liverpool, so for a bit of a brief history; The church was built between 1865 and 1867, and designed by the local architects W. & G. Audsley. At the time it was built, its steeple of 200 feet, it was the highest building in Liverpool. In 1982, when it was no longer used as a Welsh Presbyterian Church, it was sold to the Brotherhood of the Cross and Star, a religious movement based in Nigeria. They ceased to use the church in the 1990s, it became vacant, was vandalised, and became derelict. There were plans for the leasehold to be acquired by a partnership of the Merseyside Building Preservation Trust and the Heritage Trust for the North West. As of 2013 the Merseyside Building Preservation Trust is undertaking a feasibility study with the intention to make a bid for a grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund.
