John Foster junior ( c.1786-1846 ) lived at 82 Mount Pleasant which is now part of the Business School. He was Liverpool Corporation Surveyor from 1824 to 1835, and the architect of St Andrews Church, Rodney St ( 1823 ). As a student he was described by Professor Cockerall as :-" a most amazing youth, but too idle to be anything more than a dinner companion".
