Assessor comments
"Global plants and flowers in majestic setting"
Overview
Sefton Park’s ‘Great Conservatory’ was a gift to the city of Liverpool by local benefactor Henry Yates Thompson. It first opened to the public in 1896, and some of its original plants are still thriving here today. The Palm House went through a period of dereliction in the 1990s, but after a public campaign and multi-million pound restoration, it re-opened in 2001 and has since then enjoyed a new life as a lively arts and cultural venue.
