Interesting, the article mentions "old" St Luke's - was there another church there prior to the current church?

According to Wikipedia there was previously a wooden church.

Thanks I never knew that there was a wooden church there before the current church was built - thanks very much.

I couldn't find any further information, not even if it was the same name. Be interesting if anybody has anything else.

There's a reference to the "old" St Luke's in the blog you linked to, so I'm guessing it retained its name.

something that always makes me chuckle when I do the weather check on bbc website is the location, and its repeated on the church website

St Luke The Evangelist, Walton on the Hill


I FOUND MY THRILL... in Walton on the Hill !!

...there's a print of the ground from 1892 a few pages back and I pointed out there can't be many images without the church. This is @Reidy's Bottle Of Grecian response.

.....so Goodison Rd is on the left of the picture. Not sure when the Church was built but there can't be many views of that corner of the ground without it on.

Until I read this I assumed Goodison Road was on the right.

This one looks like the current church though, look at the windows.

....no, I think it said the stand on the left is Goodison Rd.

Yes but the game in the sketch v Hearts of Midlothian definitely took place in November 1892 so the old church must have been similar I guess

I wonder if anybody has any old streetmaps of Liverpool pre 1880 which might show a church ?
