Everton Beacon (medieval, c1220) consisted of a rectangular tower of three storeys. It was blown down in a storm in 1803. The site is now occupied by St George's Church. Image courtesy of Liverpool Record Office. 
St George's Church (1812-14) used cast iron made in the Mersey Iron Foundry for much of the structure and external features. Although the walls are stone the cast iron can be seen in the windows and inside the building. Image courtesy of Liverpool Record Office. 
St Domingo Methodist Chapel (1870), described by Pevsner as "ornate, fanciful assymetrical", stood on the corner of Breckfield Road.
