Old Christ Church, now disused and subject to vandalism, was built between 1891 and 1899 in perpendicular style using red sandstone, replacing a much humbler building and to keep up with the increasing prosperity of this rapidly growing suburb of Liverpool. Its majestic tower became a landmark for sailors, and still dominates the neighbourhood The church is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II* listed building (Historic England List Entry Number: 1257311 http://www.heritagegateway.org.uk/Gateway/Results_Single.aspx?uid=1257311&resourceID=5 Heritage Gateway). It was declared redundant in 1982, and its functions have been replaced by a new Christ Church at the junction of Crosby Road South and Alexandra Road, Waterloo. The church building is now under the care of The Churches Conservation Trust (See more at: http://www.visitchurches.org.uk/Ourchurches/Completelistofchurches/Christ-Church-Waterloo-Merseyside/#sthash.hHpq39hS.dpuf) .
