July 8th 2010 - Three Faiths

I took this photograph today from the corner of Princes Road in Toxteth, at the point where the duel carriageway begins. I liked the fact I was able to capture three different places of worship within one shot - The Jewish Synagogue in the foreground beyond the railings and the dome and spires of the Greek Orthodox church and the Anglican Cathedral respectively, in the distance. Liverpool certainly boasts to be the World in One City, and the same can be said of all faiths. Just a few streets in the opposite direction is the new Mosque too, all buildings within just a few square metres of each other.

June 27th 2010 - Toxteth Cathedral - Princes Road

I was surprised, yet again, by Liverpool's history; this is a photograph of Princes Road and the church on the right is the, now derelict, Welsh Presbyterian church known as the Toxteth Cathedral. The spire is 200ft and it dominates the Toxteth landscape. The church opened in 1868 and was designed by architectural brothers William and George Audsley. It was a focal point for the 30,000 Welsh Presbyterians living in Liverpool.At that time it was said that there were more Welsh speakers living in Liverpool than in the Welsh capital Cardiff.
