Makeover for war-damaged city church

St Luke's Church oasis

A LIVERPOOL based community group unveiled a makeover at the city centre’s St Luke’s Church.

Urban Strawberry Lunch (USL), which is dedicated to the upkeep of the war-torn building, carried out the work after the church scooped £1,800 of goods and services.

The funding came from B&Q’s One Planet Living Awards, which aims to help reduce the ecological footprint and enhance the local community.

In the late evening of Monday May 5 1941 the church at the corner of Leece Street and Berry street was hit by an incendiary bomb during the blitz.

But the church stood and represents a vital chapter in city's history and holds a special place in the hearts of Liverpudlians.

Scores turned out to see the transformation, including Riverside MP Louise Ellman.
