St George’s Hall

St George’s Hall is on Lime Street in the centre of the English city of Liverpool, opposite Lime Street railway station. Opened in 1854, it is a building in Neoclassical style which contains concert halls and law courts, and is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade I listed building. On the east side of the hall, between it and the railway station, is St George’s Plateau and on the west side are St John’s Gardens. The hall is included in the William Brown Street conservation area.nIn 1969 the architectural historian Nikolaus Pevsner expressed his opinion that it is one of the finest neo-Grecian buildings in the world, although the building is known for its use of Roman sources as well as Greek. In 2004, the hall and its surrounding area were recognised as part of Liverpool’s World Heritage Site.nThe Liverpool Register Office and Coroner’s Court have been based in the hall since 2012.
