EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures the impressive sports pavilion and viewing platform at the Geoffrey Hughes Memorial Ground in Liverpool. Designed by Gerald Beech, in collaboration with Geoffrey Holland, this modernist complex was completed in 1962 at a cost of £101,000. The architectural masterpiece consists of a changing room block, clubhouse, and promenade that have been recognized for their historical significance as they are listed Grade II. From the north-west perspective, one can appreciate the sleek lines and contemporary design of the clubhouse and viewing terrace. The large windows and glazing allow natural light to flood into the space while providing panoramic views of the surrounding area. This mid-20th-century structure stands as a testament to both sporting excellence and architectural innovation. The sports pavilion has become an integral part of Merseyside's sports heritage, serving as a hub for various sporting activities throughout its existence. Its Class One Award from the Civic Trust in 1963 further highlights its importance within the community. This print not only showcases an iconic piece of modern architecture but also encapsulates the spirit of sport and recreation within Liverpool. It is a tribute to Geoffrey Hughes' legacy and his contribution to creating this remarkable sports club facility that continues to inspire athletes today.
