March 6th 2010 - St Lukes 'Bombed Out Church'
Chinese New Year celebrations are over, yet the lanterns still hang in St. Lukes. The church is used as a backdrop by artists and musicians from Urban Strawberry Lunch for their annual community Chinese craft and sound work shops. St. Lukes was built in 1831 and was bombed during the May Blitz, 1941. Liverpool City Council purchased the land from the Church of England in 1968 and today it is maintained as a reminder of the Blitz and is a place of tranquility and rest.
