History

The Isla Gladstone Conservatory was first erected in 1870 and was part of park designer Edward Kemp's vision to create a usable park space in North Liverpool, providing fresh-air and a place for exercise for the inner-city populace. It was originally intended to house tropical and exotic plants grown in surrounding greenhouses. Stanley Park was on the edge of the countryside when it was built, but was quickly consumed by the growing city.
