The home was not only a magnificent building it also played a pivotal role in establishing Liverpool as one of the world's successful commercial seaports following the dismantling of the Slave trade.

Mermaid Railings [http://images.andale.com/f2/115/106/1943660/2007/9/13/DSCF0340.jpg] from the home can be seen in Portmeirion in North Wales.

The gates of the Liverpool Sailors' Home [http://images.andale.com/f2/115/106/1943660/2007/9/13/Scan0016.jpg] , which were responsible for at least two tragic deaths (and subsequent reported hauntings around Canning Place) were sold to Avery in Birmingham after the War and can now be seen at their museum located in the historic Soho Foundry.
