	Miscellaneous: Top Tip - How to Save Your Soul From the Devil Tip Rating:

My Spooky Photo of Mackenzies
Tomb

by SapineKuu

One of the strangest sites in Liverpool must surely be the pyramid tomb in the now disused St Andrew's Church Yard. Why a Pyramid? Well, this tomb holds the body of Liverpool's most infamous gambler William Mackenzie. Mackenzie in his desire to secure a winning Poker hand promised his soul to the devil. He won the game but fell ill shortly after. Fearful that his pact would become reality he used his winnings to have this special tomb erected and within it placed his card table and chair. Upon his death he left instructions to be entombed sitting at the table holding the winning cards. Mackenzie reckoned that by being so interred his faustian pact could not be completed and his soul would remain secure. How cool is that!

Address: Rodney Street Liverpool

Directions: Rodney Street is a short walk from the centre of the city in the general direction of the catholic cathedral.

Ellan Vannin Tragedy Grave

by SapineKuu, 1 more photos

If you enjoy wandering around old grave yards you will love St James Cemetery in the shadow of the Anglican Cathedral. The setting is lovely and the graves capture perfectly the success and tragedy of the city. This started life as a quarry and required special ramps and tunnels to transport bodies to their final resting place.
The cemetery will be of particular interest to American VT's as it contains the graves of people from Kentucky, New York, Pennsylvania and many other states.

This photo is of a grave of some of those who perished in the Ellan Vannin Tragedy of 1909. The ship of 15 passengers, 21 crew plus 60 tons of cargo foundered in heavy seas on the approach to the Mersey Channel having set off from the Isle of Man that morning.
All those on board tragically perished.

Address: Between Anglican Cathedral & Oratory Building

Directions: Go down the ramp lined with graves and through the tunnel. You will come out in the cemetery grounds

If you enjoy cinema and visual art why not get along to the brilliant FACT Building. This purpose built arts project was designed by the award winning achitects Austin-Smith:Lord and contains two galleries and three ultra modern cinema screens. These show a combination of arthouse, international and mainstream films. The bar areas are a great place to meet up and hang out. Try to catch a film in 'The Box' This is a small screen with sofa seating and you can take your drinks in with you. A great night out.

Address: 88 Wood Street City Centre

Directions: FACT is located in the a short distance from Lime street Station at the top of Bold St close to St Luke's Church. This is also a great area for the best shops, bars and clubs in the city.

I Bite

by SapineKuu

If you walk up Water Street (across the road from the Liver Buildings) keep a look out for the old National Provincial Bank Building on the R/H side just before you reach the Town Hall. The huge doors are decorated with two fantastic ferocious looking tigers. Rubbing the fangs is said to bring good luck and was routinely done by Indian sailors who believed it would ensure them a safe onward passage. Recommeded for all VT's!

Williamson Square

by Bigs

Even in the cold cold days around new year 04 this new fountain found a lot of friends. Well, this little girl was desperately forced to walk through by her mum, but she refused to do it. Dave, Sandy husband was brave enough!!! Should be nicer in summer really....

ye hole in ye wall

by sandysmith

I noticed this place just recently walking back towards the pier head for the ferry.

Liverpool's oldest pub "Ye Hole in Ye Wall" dates back to 1726 and was built on the site near to the first purpose built Quaker meeting house.
Thursday night they have free curry and rice when its Quiz night!
The street it is on is one of Liverpool's medieval streets too.

Address: 4 Hackins Hey L2 4AW

Directions: Just off Dale Street before Exchange street

docker's clock

by sandysmith

This unusual six sided clock can be seen on the river cruise. Known as the dockers' clock as it could be seen from all the compass points. The only other one like it can be found in Russia so its a shame that it is so neglected.

Just behind the clock is he Stanley Tobaccco warehouse - the largest bonded warehouse in the world.

The pyramid grave

by sabsi

Next St. Andrew's Church in Rodney Street there is a 15 foot high pyramid which actually is a grave!!! W. Mackenzie, a real gambler, wanted to be buried upright at a card table holding the winning hand. So they built him a pyramid grave.
