I think that church is Christchurch (sic) on the corner of Bessborough Road and Christchurch Road - Oxton Village way.....
Don't know why St Saviours is not visible - it is at least as high up as Christchurch - if not quite a bit higher !!!

Can confirm that St Saviours is very visible from the other side of the hill - even from the car park of the 'Arrowe'!.

Yes Derek - definitely Christchurch.
I used to live in the right hand flat of that light coloured block of Georgian houses on Slatey Road - see the top flat which has had modern windows added to the side and looks very posh.

When I lived there the two right hand houses were flats and the exterior walls painted a horrible olive green !!!

Er ..... Christchurch has a bloomin' great spire not a square tower. Try Oxton St Saviours!!!

Well if it is St Saviours I might go and investigate, perhaps go up on the roof and take some pics. The view must be fantastic up there.

the first ones are from 4x5 negatives which I had scanned at 1200dpi by a photographer in Egremont and saved to disc as tiff files
Have another 15 but not been scanned
Any other pics I have with my camera set at 10megapixels

Hopefully one day I'll get a good samaritan to scan the others
