Report - St Lukes War Memorial Hall - Wallasey, Merseyside - Feb 2024

[MK83]

The memorial hall is situated next to St Luke’s Church and was built in 1926 in memory of 250 soldiers from Poulton who lost their lives in the First World War.
A bereaved mother and widow, Mary Bennet of 15 Cedar Grove, Poulton laid the foundation stone next to the memorial hall entrance which has the inscription “greater love hath no man”. The stone was one of two bronze tablets which displayed the names of the men who died in Poulton.
Mary lost three of her four sons during the war in France with two of them killed in the same week.

This was a chilled out explore and access was straightforward. It's very dark inside so not the easiest to photograph but theres a lot of decent decay and loads of retro stuff inside.

Thanks for looking.

Nice to see a certain level of respect shown to the building considering what it is. Wasn't entirely covered in graffiti.

Thanks, the graffiti in the school desks is cool. The lids are covered in stickers of the original gladiators, showing our age but it brought back memories of primary school!

There isn't much graffiti at all, mostly just natural decay.
