Isla Gladstone Conservatory
Work to restore a 110-year-old conservatory in a Merseyside park has been completed.
The Isla Gladstone Conservatory, which has been out of use for 30 years, has undergone a make-over as part of the ?14m regeneration of Stanley Park.
The entire structure was taken down piece by piece, examined for damage, rebuilt and re-glazed with 1,483 separate panes of glass.
The lake system in the 143-year-old Liverpool park was also restored.
Intricate ironwork and sandstone bridges throughout the park have been restored using old photographs to keep to original designs.
