Save the Heritage Centre

It is with huge regret and great sadness that the Joseph Williamson Society has to report that, unless a miracle occurs in the next few weeks, the Williamson Tunnels Heritage Centre will be closing for good next Sunday 1st June 2025. That miracle could be you - please donate to help save this unique part of Liverpool's heritage.

The Centre has been operating on a peppercorn-lease for 25 years but following the failed sale of the freehold a firm of property receivers are now in control of the site. They have offered the Society a new lease but are proposing a commercial rent (£20,000) that is beyond the Society's means to pay. They have also offered to sell us the freehold but the asking price (£275,000) is also way out of our reach.
