    "When Sefton Park opened its gates in 1872 it was missing a centrepiece. A generous donation by local benefactor, Henry Yates Thompson, led the Parks Committee to abandon plans for a band pavilion and set their sights on a spectacular Palm House.
    Henry Yates Thompson’s donation of £10,000 was a gift to the people of Liverpool. It enabled the Parks Committee to appoint leading glasshouse suppliers of the day, Mackenzie and Moncur Ltd of Edinburgh and Glasgow, to design and build a magnificent temperate winter garden, which opened to the public in 1896.
    The great glass domes provided the ideal conditions for plants from South East Asia, Australasia, the Americas, Africa, Europe and the Mediterranean to thrive. The Palm House quickly became one of Liverpool’s top visitor attractions."
