Liverpool's Central Hall in Renshaw Street was an architecturally complex building with a grand entrance tower and dome designed by Broadshaw and Glass of Bolton. It was erected in 1905 on the site of the historic Unitarian Chapel as a memorial to Charles Garrett (who had always disapproved of grandiose projects of this kind). It seated 3,115 persons and cost no less than £52,681. The hall very quickly became the centre for a variety of religious and social activities, which have steadily grown with the years. It escaped bomb damage during World War 2 but post war indebtedness several times threatened closure. This was slowly overcome and in the late 1950's and 1960's a programme of reconstruction and redecoration was undertaken to fit the Hall for the constantly increasing demands upon its services. These were completed at a total cost of £60,000 in 1970/1
