Thanks for the pictures Brian! I remmeber going to the festival as a child and think it's a shame houses are being built there
A major tourist attraction and what have the council done with it?
Same as the Williamson Tunnels - nothing.
Maybe there is only money to be made from selling land off and knocking down buildings.
Work finally starts on the IGF site!
Source: BBCWork to restore part of Liverpool's International Garden Festival site, which lay derelict for a quarter of a century, is due to begin.
A £3.7m grant from the North West Development Agency will fund the restoration of the formal gardens. They will then be returned to public use.

Should be a theme park on that site
Don't hold your horses, this council have been promising to spend money on Newsham Park, the oldest of the larger Victorian parks and the nearest to the town centre. For the last five years at least, they have made statements in the Liverpool Echo of the millions to be spent on the park. I will believe it about the garden festival site when I see it.
It's not the council here though, it's private money/companies... they have started clearing the undergrowth already.
