Britain’s oldest mosque has opened its doors to the public in an effort to create a dialogue about Islam.

Over 100 people attended the event at the Abdullah Quilliam Mosque on Brougham Terrace, Kensington, on Sunday, a building which first became a mosque in 1889.

As part of a Visit My Mosque initiative by the Muslim council, the mosque invited Merseyside people to observe prayers and ask questions about Islam.

The mosque, which has five floors, is still under refurbishment.

The building was once derelict and falling apart but, after work began on the estimated £3m project in 2009, it reopened 2014.
