Greek Orthodox Church of St Nicholas

Greek Orthodox Church of St Nicholas was built 1870 in the Neo-Byzantine architecture style. It is an enlarged version of St Theodore’s church in Constantinople (now converted into the Vefa Kilise Mosque).nSt. Nicholas’ was built in the Liverpool neighbourhood of Toxteth in a period when Liverpool’s magnates were filling Toxteth with opulent mansions. The church stands in a neighbourhood of substantial homes and in a cluster of houses of worship designed to advertise the wealth and status of a group of captains of industry that was remarkably ethnically diverse, by the standards of Victorian England. nThe exterior is extremely ornate, featuring arches within arches, done in alternating bands of white stone and red brick.
