The Liverpool Tapestry:
People, Places and Passions
St George’s Hall is one of the finest neo-classical buildings in the
North West, and stands on its own plateau rising over the city.
It originally housed not only a huge main hall, but also a smaller
concert hall – in fact Dickens was one noted speaker – and these
functions are retained. It also once housed the city’s main Law
courts, although these have now been relocated to a purpose-
built building.
