Once the largest Roman Catholic Parish in England with over 13,000 parishioners, the Church of Saint Francis Xavier (SFX) is a magnificent Grade 2* listed building designed by J.J. Scholes. The original St Francis Xavier's opened its doors on 4th December 1848, staffed by the Society of Jesus (Jesuits). Jesuits had been working in the Liverpool area since the C17th and in 1712, built the city's first Catholic Chapel since the Reformation.

The Liverpool Collegiate School
The Liverpool Collegiate School, Shaw Street, was founded in 1840 under the name Liverpool Collegiate Institution, as a day school for boys. The main purpose of the school was to provide the sons of the middle class with a suitable education incorporating a combination of scientific, commercial and religious instruction. At its opening the college was divided into three schools; Upper, Middle and the Lower Schools. In 1884 the Upper School moved to a site on Lodge Lane whilst the others remained at Shaw Street. Eventually, in 1907 the schools formally split when the Middle and Commercial Schools were sold to the city. The Upper School continued as Liverpool College and became a public school, the Middle and Commercial Schools united under the name Liverpool Collegiate School and continued until its closure in 1985.
The building has now been converted into apartments.
