June 1st 2010 - Unitarian Chapel - Toxteth
I took this photograph of the Unitarian Chapel in Ullet Road this evening. An impressive structure, which is a grade 1 listed, it was built in 1889 from the designs of father and son architects Thomas and Percy Worthington. The congregation was founded by Dissenters granted freedom to worship in Liverpool in 1689. Amongst its members was William Roscoe, slave trade abolitionist and instigator of many institutions of culture and learning in the city. I hope to get the opportunity to take a look inside before the year ends.
