Philharmonic Dining Rooms first purpose-built English pub to gain top heritage status
A pub in Liverpool with spectacular gentlemen’s toilets has joined Buckingham Palace, Chatsworth House and the Palace of Westminster in gaining England’s top heritage status.
The Philharmonic Dining Rooms has been upgraded to Grade I, making it the first purpose-built Victorian pub in England to be given Historic England’s highest honour.
Regarded as a “cathedral among pubs”, the opulent Philharmonic was one of the most spectacular drinking dens to be completed at the end of the 19th century, known as the “golden age” of pub building.
