Baitul Lateef Mosque, Grade II listed mosque in Liverpool, England
Baitul Lateef is a Grade II listed prayer house in Liverpool featuring round-headed windows and a three-bay arcade supported by Corinthian columns. The two-story building contains multiple prayer rooms separated by cast-iron composite columns.
The building was constructed between 1864 and 1865 as Richmond Baptist Church, designed by Sir James Picton. It served as a church for over 150 years before being converted to a mosque in 2015.
The mosque serves the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community in Liverpool and contributes to the city's religious diversity. You can observe how the space functions for Islamic prayer and community gatherings.
The building is located on Breck Road and is accessible by public transport. The mosque is primarily open during prayer times, and visitors should remove their shoes before entering.
The interior preserves original design elements from its time as a church, including side galleries and a flat coffered ceiling. These architectural features offer a rare glimpse into how prayer spaces were designed during the Victorian era.
