My first marriage was at Saint Broughams on the Hill.

…just over the road from where I was brought up

….Brougham Terrace, built in 1830 as 12 terraced houses but converted in 1902 for the West Derby Public Union and Registry Offices.

During my life, it was registry of births, marriages and deaths, I was best man at a friends wedding there and also registered my Mum’s death in 1989. The building is still there, I think it’s a mosque, recently used as a Covid jab centre;

I worked in there around 2002/03 when I was seconded to the councils Social Services dept from the City Treasury. To be fair it was a decent office to work in.

…knew a girl who worked there myself, she more latterly worked at St George’s Hall when I went to register my father-in-laws death.

Brougham Terrace is a fine old building.

….i remember them very well, saw them every day on my walk to Rathbone School. There was a boozer in the side street called the Blue Ball (I think), a girl in my class lived in the pub. Think they were temporary housing following the 1941 blitz but were still there in early ‘70s.

Always thought that was Prescot St but maybe Croft St was there also.

….yep, that’s the Jolly Miller. That amazing pic has appeared a few times in the thread.

Suggestion is the bomber pilot had a bomb left after dropping others on the dock area so got rid of it before flying home. There’s another that hit Gwladys St part of the ground and I think the school.
