Last crawled date: 2 years, 11 months ago

St George's Hall is in Liverpool city centre on Lime Street opposite Lime Street railway station (grid reference SJ349907). It is a building in neoclassical style which contains concert halls and law courts, and is a Grade I listed building. St George's Hall was reopened on April 23rd 2007 by HRH The Prince of Wales, after the completion of a £23m restoration. The Hall has been carefully restored to its original glory and a new Heritage Centre has been created to provide visitors with a dynamic and exciting introduction to St George’s Hall and its place in Liverpool’s history. Key features of the Heritage Centre include: • The original south entrance hall on St Johns Lane, designed by Harvey Longsdale Elmes, but never before used by the public; • Opportunities to visit the cells used by prisoners awaiting trial; • The newly refurbished Criminal Court and Judge’s Robing Room; • Glimpses of the unique ventilation system designed by Dr David Boswell Reid; • A Learning Suite for school parties; • A Community Room entitled ‘World Heritage-Your Heritage’ where local groups can display exhibitions; • A new accessible viewing gallery for the Great Hall; • The Minton Tea Room Guided tours will start Autumn 2007 #concert #grade_I #hall #law #liverpool #neoclassical
