What the ariel view doesn't show is that the site is a short climb above the road, so when I just tried Google's Street View all I could see was the trees along the south bank of the church site. The base of one pillar is visible when you visit the site, but that is all.

Im Don Roberts, born 17 May 1946 in Liverpool UK and I now live in Tirau New Zealand. I have been in NZ since 1972. Great to find this site and thank you for putting it up. I note that the original St Gabrials no longer exists in Binbrook. I have been doing my Geneology for many years and now find that my Great Great Great Grandparents were from Binbrook and were married in St Gabrials Binbrook on 24 November 1800. They were William Hill and (I believe) Elizabeth Aubon, who would have been born around 1780. They had a Daughter Eleanor Hill who was Christened in St Gabrials on 13 August 1817. I think also they had a Son in 1825 named Green. I have not fully completed my "Binbrook Geneology" and the name Elizabeth Aubon has not as yet been fully confirmed, but is from IGI and Family Search in geneology.. Eleanor Hill must have moved from Binbrook to the Tuebrook area of Liverpool, as she married my Great Great Grandfather William Roberts, from Denbeighshire, at St Nicholas's Church Pier Head Liverpool on 15 April 1838 and she is shown as living in Tuebrook (still part of Liverpool). There is possibly a Family name "Melson" connected with either William Hill or Elizabeth Aubon, as one of Elizabeth Roberts's (Aubon's) children is named Melson Hill Roberts (although of course it could be Nelson) They had William, Meson, Elizabeth, Thomas (my Great Grandfather) and Ellen between 1841 & 1851. They lived in Fontenoy Street in the centre of Liverpool between 1851 and 1871. Anyway.....I was pleased to see the site and get the information, and also to Google Earth Binbrook, but I cant find the Church! Many thanks for the site Rod. Best wishes......Don Roberts Hi Rod.

I too visited Binbrook, from Australia, in 2005, and was unable to enter this fine looking church. There is a roll book inside which apparently lists the fallen from RAF Binbrook, including those from RAAF 460 Squadron (Lancasters). As for that bungalow...ye gods! Best Wishes, Donald. Hi Rod,
