Comments
The Grade II-listed Cambridge Hall was built in 1874 to designs by Maxwell & Tuke. In 1875, William Atkinson offered Southport Corporation £6,000 to build an art gallery and library for the town. The architects Waddington & Son of Burnley designed the Atkinson Art Gallery and Library, which opened in 1878.
