Spellow Lane Church, Walton
A Memory of Liverpool.
I was a member of Spellow Lane Church from 1964 to 1976. It is situated on Spellow Lane, about 500 yards from Goodison Park (home of Everton FC), on Goodison Road. One of the weekly meetings was held on Tuesday evening . If Everton were playing at home and scored, the cheers could be heard in the church! The year 1966 brings back memories of two historic events - England winning the World Cup in the Summer, and the Aberfan Village Disaster in October. On both occassions the church was opened to the public - in the first instance to wecome visitors to the World Cup, and later to raise funds for the people of Aberfan. Some of the matches were played at Goodison Park. I attended the Brazil v Bulgaria game. One of the Brazilian visitors, a doctor, attended one of our Sunday services.
The present church was built in the early 1900's as a Presbyterian/Methodist Church and at some point, I believe, had a Welsh Congregation. It is now known as the Spellow Lane Evangelical Church.
