St. Paul's Working Men's Church, Birkenhead, 1864. Creator: Unknown
St. Paul's Working Men's Church, Birkenhead, 1864. 'This church was opened on the 10th December by the Bishop of Chester, and contains on the ground floor upwards of 600 sittings, which are wholly free. The situation is well chosen, being at the corner of Argyle-street, the principal fashionable business street, and Market-street, the street in which most of the working men do their shopping, and in which many of them reside. The church is constructed of brick, with window and other dressings of stone. The roof is an open-timbered one. There are no doors to the pews. In an elevated basement there are two lofty, well-lighted schoolrooms, well adapted for prayer-meetings and similar uses. The site and endowment were the gift of Mr. Thomas Brassey. The cost of the church has been defrayed by private individuals, and by the proceeds of a bazaar held in the park, which realised more than £1100. Mr. Walter Scott, of Birkenhead and Liverpool, who designed the new hospital at Birkenhead, is the architect'. From "Illustrated London News", 1864
