One of the main shopping streets in the city centre, Church Street is lined with major retailers, peppered with street performers and is a thoroughfare for revellers enjoying a night out on the town.
We’ve all seen some crazy things on the street, which also links Bold Street to Lord Street.
The street has seen some major changes since its inception back in the 1700s. The very church it was named after was demolished in 1922, it’s been bombed, rebuilt, pedestrianised and usurped by the Liverpool One shopping complex - but it’s still going strong after 300 years.
Below are some then and now comparison pictures that reveal just how much the district has changed over the past two centuries.
