I have a picture of an aunt, Lily Leay, which is probably from the 1930’s. In the background is a large glass house smaller in scale but of a similar style to Sefton Park. She lived all her life around the Tranmere area so I’m guessing it may have been located on the Wirral.

I am fairly sure that is Kew Gardens Palm House central section.

Many thanks for spotting Kew Gardens. I’ve compared several images from Google and I’m certain it’s correct.

I can't see the photo but there used to be a glasshouse in Birkenhead Park. It was pulled down in around 1975 due to too much vandalism.

I remember it well. It did suffer some damage during the blitz.
