May 27, 2016: The Bombed-out Church, Liverpool

Liverpool’s St. Luke’s Church, at the head of busy Bold Street, was destroyed by bombs and fire in the Blitz of May 1941. After the war it became a memorial to the victims of the Blitz, and of the war generally. Since 1968, it’s been owned and maintained by the city.

During our visit, we’ve passed by it every day, and been impressed by its quiet presence in a bustling city.

At the moment, there’s maintenance going on, so no entry, but at other times it serves as a space for performances and exhibits. It’s also a Grade II historic landmark.DSCN3229
