Protestants Martyrs Memorial Church, Liverpool
History
Founded in 1903 and closed around 2004. Founding Father of the Church was a Pastor George Wise.
The church maintained a sound uncompromising Protestant Evangelical Witness. From her inception, enemies constantly prophesied her early demise but under God the work begun by Pastor Wise was faithfully carried out by his successor, Rev. H. D. Longbottom who died in 1962.
The faith then continued by Pastor George H. Mason who died in 1981. On Wednesday 31st March 1982 this Liverpool Church and it's Protestant Congregation were constituted as a congregation of the Free Presbyterian Church of Ulster.
The Visit
I seem to have been spending quite a bit of time over on Mersyside at the moment, one of my 'Liverpool Contacts' has been keeping an eye on this place since he was a wee nipper, but since it closed, it's always been locked up tight. Recently it seems some bored youths had decided to put their destructive tendencies to (good?) use and created a nice opening to the place.
When you first walk into the place, it does not look that big, but looks can be deceptive as there is a whole sub-level there with entertainment space with a stage and many rooms.
A do like a good derelict church and this one certainly makes it into the favorite churches list.
