The story of St Luke's 'Bombed-Out' Church

St Luke's Church is one of our favourite Liverpool spaces.

Bombed and burnt out during the Luftwaffe’s Blitz on Merseyside, only the shell of the building remains. Today we know it as a mainstay of the city centre’s architecture, a place to visit for one-off, quirky cultural experiences.

Before the bombing on May 6, 1941, regular worshippers at St Luke’s would have seen two aisles where the grassy floor covers the interior today. There was also stained glass in the windows where now only fragments survive, one of which is Liverpool's hidden Liver Birds.
