The Dyson Rycroft Memorial Hall (1914) was originally the parochial hall of Christ Church in Kensington, Liverpool. It has evidently had other uses over the years including as a stage school, and (apparently) a centre for drug trafficking. The exterior is plain and so is the inside - just a large empty hall with a few nondescript rooms at the back. The local youth have been in and trashed the place, so its pretty grotty. The original plasterwork is mostly intact but starting to disintegrate in places.
This is not a little book of Aristotle - its a worthless tome on midwifery, sometimes called the expurgated 18th century sex manual.
Unexpectedly, there was a considerable amount of literature, ledgers, photographs etc. dating back to 1918 relating to the Boys’ Brigade, specially the 34th Liverpool Company (the Boys’ Brigade still exists and gave rise to Baden Powell's scouts in the early 1900s). This brigade was evidently connected to St Cyprian’s, another church not far away, now converted into lavish student apartments. The stuff was scattered in various locations, including some curled-up photos in the grass outside the building and in a skip round the corner.
