St. Luke's, Liverpool . . .

. . . was bombed during WW2 in the "blitz" of 1941. The whole inside of the church was "gutted" but was left and has now become an iconic landmark in Liverpool.

St. Luke's holds a special place in the hearts of the Liverpool population. Known locally as "The Bombed Out Church" St Luke's was bought from the Church of England by Liverpool City Council in 1968 and stands today as a garden of peace and tranquillity for the people of Liverpool. It houses a tribute to the victims of the Irish Famine but the building itself is an un-official War Memorial, one of Liverpool's most loved landmarks.
