Answer: a public street in Liverpool

Liverpool Hope University is the result of a slow fusion of three Christian teaching colleges: Saint Katharine's College (formerly Warrington Training College), Notre Dame College, and Christ's College. Saint Katharine's was an Anglican (Church of England) college and the other two were Roman Catholic institutions. Beginning in 1972, the schools moved closer to each other, encouraged by the Anglican Bishop of Liverpool David Sheppard and the Catholic Archbishop of Liverpool Derek Worlock.
