The Concert Hall in St George's Hall, in Lime Street, in the centre of the English city of Liverpool. Built in Neoclassical style, the foundation stone was laid to commemorate the coronation of Queen Victoria in 1838. Sir Charles Cockerell was largely responsible for the decoration of the interior. The roof is a tunnel vault carried on columns of polished red granite; the walls have niches for statues and the panelled plasterwork of the vault has allegorical figures of Virtues, Science and Arts and the highly decorated floor consists of over 30,000 Minton tiles. The hall was opened in 1854.
