St Sebastian's School - (now L?Arche ) Lockerby Road
St Sebastian's School first opened in May 1909 with 131 pupils. The school moved to a new building in Holly Road in 1980 but the old school is still in use today by the L"Arche community.
"L’Arche Liverpool is Christian Community of 150 people in central Liverpool where people with and without learning disabilities live and work together.
It was a Dominican priest called Père Thomas Philippe who helped Jean Vanier 'begin something' with people with learning disabilities, about 40 years ago in France. Jean, originally an officer in the Royal Navy, had become an academic in Canada, but he felt increasingly called to this different life. He met two men called Raphael Simi and Philippe Seux who were living in a large institution near Paris - the only home they'd known for many years. Jean invited them to come and make a home with him. He knew he could not help everyone, but that by helping a few, together they might be a sign to others. L'Arche first arrived in the UK in 1974 with help from Jean's sister, Thérèse, a London doctor. The first community opened in Kent. There are now nine communities in the UK."

Deane Road Jewish Cemetery
In 1835, this site in the Kensington district was purchased as a formal burial ground for the Hebrew congregation who had become such an integral part of the city. A huge, ornate archway was built to serve as its entrance, made of brick and rendered in stucco and stone, in the Greek revival style. Sadly this is all that remains of the grand entrance today, the walls and railings now grade II listed to prevent further loss. There is a fascinating website with photos and information at the link below:-
