St James Church, Birkenhead
This church, which is on Laird St/ Hoylake Road, was built in 1858 and is C of E. Until recently, it was isolated in the middle of a roundabout. The road layout has now been changed, and is a bit confusing for anyone who was used to the old system. The area is changing rapidly, with nice new housing.

St James Church, Birkenhead
St James Church (on the church notice board it is described thus, with no apostrophe) is one of the great slum churches of Birkenhead, familiarly known as Jimmy's or "the Holy Doughnut", reflecting its former position on a traffic island at the junction of Laird Street and Hoylake Road. The architect C.E. Lang designed it in 1845 to minister to the workers in his nearby dockers' cottages, then at the very edge of the built-up area adjoining Bidston Moss. But work stalled, and a contemporary journal records that for many years the incomplete shell was occupied by poultry and even a wild goat. Walter Scott completed the building in 1858. This is the southern elevation from Ilchester Road.
