3 km from Seacombe, Wirral, Great Britain

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.
