Unearthed hidden room in bombed out church led to incredible discovery

Despite being bombed to almost complete destruction, a Liverpool landmark is still capable of revealing hidden treasures.

Located in the heart of Liverpool city centre, St Luke's - more locally referred to as the Bombed Out Church - is an event space, meeting point and an important part of the city's history. In 1941, German bombers carried out a series of devastating raids on Liverpool over a seven day period, which became known as the May Blitz.

St Luke's was hit by an incendiary device and the building burned for three days. Miraculously, as it was struck in the early hours, no lives were lost.
