In need of conservation...

Blackburn, Lancashire, UK

"The Victorian cast iron conservatory was erected in 1900, and is now a grade II listed building.
It is situated close to West Park Lodge.

"There is a central rectangular portion which is gabled with a clock in the front pediment and it also has a central louvred chimney.
The building is all glass and iron, richly ornamented with arches, pierced spandrels and columns.
The mid section was designed to house exotic flora, with the wings being cooler to house displays of plants enjoying a similar climate to our own.
Adjacent to the conservatory is an aviary, opened in 1958 and still housing a collection of birds."
