Allerton Towers
History
The park was part of the Manor of Allerton until Hardman Earle acquired the estate and introduced the eponymous mansion based on a design by Harvey Lonsdale Elmes, the famed architect of St George’s Hall. The house was of classic Italianate design with an attractive tower providing views across the surrounding countryside and was completed in 1849 two years after Elmes death.
Back in 1890, Liverpool had a significant number of ‘fat cats’ and the outer fringes of the city were dominated by the estates of merchants and landed gentry.
The Earle’s are probably best remembered for the statue of General Earle outside St George’s Hall. General Earle died in Sudan at the Battle of Dulka Island when storming the Height of Kerkebam in 1885. His brother, Sir Thomas Earle, lived at Allerton Towers until his death in 1900 and the family moved out to Sandiway, in Cheshire.
The estate was acquired by Liverpool Corporation in 1924, and the landscaped gardens were opened to the public as Allerton Tower Park in 1927. By 1937 the Tower had become seriously affected by dry rot and was demolished.
The land is still owned by the Council and is one of the city’s finest small parks.
