St.Luke's Church, Liverpool

St.Luke's Church, also known as the bombed-out-church, sits on the corner of Berry Street, Liverpool - it is the building you see when you look down Bold Street. The Gothic style church was completed in 1832 and was known as the 'doctors' church' because of its close proximity to Rodney Street where many doctors practised.

Unfortunately, it was hit by a German incendiary device during the May blitz of 1941 leaving only its outer shell.

It is now run by Urban Strawberry Lunch and used as a venue to show films and hosts music and tai chi events. There are also drumming sessions during the Chinese New Year.

Changing Light Over The Mersey

Last Tuesday, 12th March, saw the first arrival of a cruise liner to visit Liverpool in 2014 - the MV Discovery. MV stands for motor vessel by the way. I spent an hour or two taking photos from Woodside in Birkenhead as the light fell over the Mersey.
