THE road supposedly ran to a site near St Mary of the Angels Church, on Fox Street. The church closed in 2001 as part of a reorganisation of inner-city parishes by the
Catholic authorities. But campaigners, led by Kay Kelly, are pressing for the Grade II-listed building to be reopened, preferably as a place of worship or as a centre
celebrating the area's history. It was designed by Pugin & Pugin and built in 1910 with money from Amy Elizabeth Imrie, adopted daughter of William Imrie, co-owner of
the White Star Line. She filled it with treasures from Italy to give the poor of Liverpool a glimpse of the glories of Rome. Its future remains uncertain.
