A Liverpool city centre church is to create a lasting monument to the longest continuous military campaign of WWII.
An application has been made to Liverpool Council by Our Lady and St Nicholas Church on Chapel Street to upgrade its existing memorial ground to install a lasting design to commemorate the Battle of the Atlantic. According to documents submitted to the local authority, a large paved area will be adapted with a feature sandstone retaining wall with Winston Churchill quote engraved into the surface.
A design and access statement sent to the council’s planning department said there will also be a wave design incorporated into the new paving and a map depicting a point in time during the Battle. New, more accessible steps will be built and new sensory planting carried out.
