Charles Banks Lucy - a photo on Flickriver

Charles Banks Lucy

            Together with architect Charles Littler, he formed the Liverpool-based firm of architects Lucy and Littler. Their works include the lodges, chapels and entrance gate at Anfield Cemetery (1863) and all the buildings and main structures at the Flaybrick Cemetery in Birkenhead (1864), specifically three mortuary chapels, a Registrar's office, and a Sexton's lodge. The Roman Catholic chapel was demolished in 1971 and the Anglican and Non-Conformist chapels, last used in 1975.

Lucy and Littler also designed the Alliance Bank on the corner of Castle Street and Derby Square in Liverpool (1868), which today is a boutique hotel.

Charles Lucy died on 9 January 1871, aged 38. According to the abstract of his will, he was an ‘Architect and Surveyor’ and at the time of his death he was living at 37 Clifton-road in Birkenhead. His effects were valued at ‘under £3000’.

He was buried in Flaybrick Cemetery surrounded by buildings which he had designed. His business partner Charles Littler had predeceased him, aged 36, on 3 July 1868 and is buried in the same cemetery. Unfortunately both graves have suffered severe damage by vandals.
