Mention of St Peter's in Gordon's mail prompts me to wonder if the brass Cross is still in place in the paving flag outside what was most recently the HMV store in Church Street? I have tried to look each time I've been to Liverpool, but it's always been boarded off and covered with builders' walk boards. Someone did tell me that instead of the store being gutted and re-fitted, it's going to be the entrance through to the new shopping area in Paradise Street. Can anyone confirm or otherwise about both the Cross and the entrance?

Hi Marged Had a peek through the hoardings last Saturday. No sign of the paving flag with the brass cross in it, so looks like we're going to have to wait until the hoardings come down to see what's become of it. :-( Incidentally I stumbled across this recently on the Liverpool Record Office's site :- 'Church of St. John the Evangelist, Knotty Ash. The church was built with funds raised by Adam Dugdale, a Manchester merchant, at a cost of £5500. It was consecrated on 18th February 1836 by John Bird Sumner, Bishop of Chester. The bell, however, dates from 1707 and was originally at St. Peter's, Church Street'. So at least one other memento of old St Peter's lives on. :-) Regards Gordon From: "Marged" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, May 20, 2008 12:30 PM Subject: [ENG-MERSEYSIDE] St Peter's Church Cross >Mention of St Peter's in Gordon's mail prompts me to wonder if the brass >Cross is still in place in the paving flag outside what was most recently >the HMV store in Church Street? >I have tried to look each time I've been to Liverpool, but it's always been >boarded off and covered with builders' walk boards. >Someone did tell me that instead of the store being gutted and re-fitted, >it's going to be the entrance through to the new shopping area in Paradise >Street. >Can anyone confirm or otherwise about both the Cross and the entrance? >Marged
