Harvest Giving Makes a Real Difference in Our Community
Author: Rev. A. Campbell
A massive thank you to everyone at St Anne’s for your incredible generosity during our recent Harvest celebrations! The donations collected have already made a tangible, immediate impact across our local community through two wonderful partner organisations.
Supporting Liverpool in Arms
We were delighted to meet Jeannie and Neil, Team Leaders for Liverpool in Arms, an organisation dedicated to helping the homeless across our city.
They expressed their heartfelt gratitude for the overwhelming amount of warm coats and clothing donated by St Anne's parishioners. Having run out of coats to hand out just the night before, the team noted that many of the coats collected will be distributed immediately as evening temperatures continue to drop.
Supporting Everyone’s Aigburth
Our Harvest contributions have also directly supported Everyone’s Aigburth, benefiting families and individuals right here in our local neighbourhood. The team extended a huge thank you for the generous food donations, which help stock community shelves and support those in need.
Thank you once again to our entire St Anne's church family for showing such warmth, compassion, and practical care to those around us!

Uncovering Liverpool’s Hidden History beneath the City
Author: L. Fletcher
Five of us joined a group of 11 others meeting at the Pump House, Albert Dock.
At the Pump House we learnt that the "Pool" extended from the edge of the river (The Strand) to where the Mersey Tunnels are now. The tidal range of the Mersey is so large that ships had to moor mid-river and their cargo was transported to the Pool by flat-bottomed barges. This process took two weeks.
At this time Liverpool was a small fishing hamlet, the major port in the area being Chester. However, the River Dee was slowly silting up, and as America was opening up to trade, the town council decided to investigate the possibility of building a wet dock (i.e. one that held the water back at low tide). The only other wet dock was the East India Company's in London, and this was thought to be a private dock used solely by the Company.
Within the town lived the engineer Thomas Steers. He had some experience of working in Holland and on the East India dock in London, and the town decided to employ him to draw up plans. The year was 1710 and his initial cost was £6,000.
After raising the money, the town then petitioned the Government for permission. By the time building work started the cost had doubled to £12,000. The town council then took the bold decision to approach a financier in London, and as a guarantee they had to mortgage the whole town to him.
This brave decision was justified: the dock was finished in 1715 and proved to be a tremendous success, enabling ships to unload in two days. The Old Dock could hold 80-100 ships, and this enterprise resulted in the city we see now.
Our tour continued to the Old Dock itself, beneath the Hilton Hotel. We gained access via stairs below the car park in Liverpool One. We could see the bedrock and how the dock was built with bricks made on site. Considering their age, the bricks were in remarkable condition. There was also evidence of a bricked-up tunnel which is thought to have led to Liverpool Castle.
For those who are interested, there is a viewing window outside John Lewis in Liverpool One, through which the back end of the dock can be seen.
