The Liverpool Tapestry:
People, Places and Passions
This piece shows the bandstand, conservatory and lake at Stanley
Park, which was opened in 1870. The Isla Gladstone Conservatory
is Grade II listed and was recently restored. The park, which
lies between Liverpool and Everton Football clubs, has a large
proportion of grassed area suitable for sports, and also contains a
cycle track.
Liverpool, of course, is known for the two Premier League
Football teams, which in the spirit of fairness had both to be
represented in the Tapestry. However, Barbara decided that being
even-handed about this meant that the only way to show this was
to put both teams colours on the same Lambanana, to show the
city’s divided loyalties on the day of a Derby match!
