Photos of St Stephen’s from the Local History Library

Neil Harvey has been busy looking at photos in the Local History Library and found these photos of St Stephen’s. Mostly they look like they are taken when St Stephen’s was past her prime and the streets around were already being demolished.Looking down the aisle towards the altar.

The pews, the organ at the back and activity going on by the West door.

The war memorial. A copy of the names was put in St Philip’s after the church closed. The original is stored in St Philip’s Crypt.

St Stephen’s Church can clearly be seen in this sketch from Lancashire Life

The  memorial plaques are in the crypt of St Philip’s church.

Where was St Stephen’s Church?

We’ve found St Stephen’s Church on a map from 1848. The map is available from Alan Godfrey at www.alangodfreymaps.co.uk. This is part of the map that shows St Stephen’s church in relation to St Philip’s. St Philip’s Church is on the left and St Stephen’s on the right. Chapel St is just below the map. Trinity Way now runs across the bottom right corner.
