Demolished

Christ Curch, Norris Green, Liverpool, Merseyside, Quiggin & Gee, 1931-32, Unlisted

Having been the subject of a serious amount of vandalism, this large suburban church in the Neo-Romanesque style was finally demolished on the 25th August 2006.  Worryingly, the church had fallen through all the safeguards and nets held out to save it and under ecclesiastical exemption law section 18, the Diocese of Liverpool acted all too swiftly to condemn and then destroy the building. A sad loss for the Society and indeed the heritage of this area of Liverpool.
