This used to be a hotel. Rumour has it that it might soon be a hotel again |

These first two photos of St. Andrew's Church show what the church looked like in the 1980s. It was derelict until Liverpool council bought it and converted it into student accommodation
Here it is now. It still has its pyramid. Local legend says that its inhabitant, Sir James Mackenzie, a local businessman and gambler, sold his soul to the Devil in a poker game and promised Old Nick to surrender his soul when he had played his last hand. So after his death he was placed inside the pyramid sitting in a chair holding his last cards in order to cheat the Devil.
