SJ3492 : St Sylvester's RC church and School, Vauxhall

Bootle, Sefton, Great Britain

St Sylvester's RC church and School, Vauxhall
St Sylvester's RC church and School, Vauxhall
The influx of Irish Roman Catholics into this dockside area of Liverpool led to a necessity for a RC church to be established. Funds were raised from various sources to buy the site where stood a shed which had been used for mass since 1875. This Gothic style, red brick church was built and the first mass was said in 1899. In 1911 a further plot of land was acquired adjacent to the church at the corner of Silvester Street and Latimer Street and a new school was built which opened in 1915.
