St Luke's Church is one of our favourite Liverpool spaces.
Bombed and burnt out during the Luftwaffe’s Blitz on Merseyside, only the shell of the building remains. Today we know it as a mainstay of the city centre’s architecture, a place to visit for one-off, quirky cultural experiences.
Before the bombing on May 6, 1941, regular worshippers at St Luke’s would have seen two aisles where the grassy floor covers the interior today. There was also stained glass in the windows where now only fragments survive, one of which is Liverpool's hidden Liver Birds.

Since the bombing, St. Luke's has been affectionately know as "The Bombed-Out Church". Not only is it home to some fantastic events, it is also one of the prime meeting spots in the city, whether it be for organised protests, or calling a delta at the end of a night out.
Some amazing drone footage captured Mister Drone UK on YouTube, shows off the Grade II listed building in all its glory. You can also listen to a recording of an unnamed BBC sound engineer giving a live broadcast during the attack in May 1941.
Today the church hosts events such as weddings, outdoor cinemas, theatrical performances, and it even has its own garden bar - which is perfect on a summers day. Yoko Ono once had one of her art installations featured in the building.
You can see a selection of photographs of The Bombed-Out Church throughout the years in a gallery we have made below. Let us know in the comments what your memories are of this iconic landmark.
