One of Liverpool’s major art galleries is hoping to undergo major repairs as significant refurbishment of its interior also takes place.
The Walker Art Gallery, situated at the heart of Liverpool's cultural quarter on William Brown Street, has submitted planning applications to carry out a range of works on the exterior of the Grade II listed building. According to the application, the repairs will look to carry out “alterations and repairs” to the roof, windows, roof lights, edge protections and stone work, as well as the removal of some ventilation chutes.
National Museums Liverpool (NML), which operates the building and the World Museum on the same street, has applied to Liverpool City Council to carry out the works. A spokesperson for NML told the ECHO that as well as updating repair works carried out a number of years ago, the latest updates should help combat “natural weather erosion” on the exterior of the building.
