In 1897 Liverpool Corporation purchased a piece of land for the sum of £13,000, part of the estate of the philanthropic Rathbone family, on the understanding that the corporation was to maintain this land as open space or recreation ground for the public. Formerly laid out as an Old English garden within Greenbank park, the walled garden is all that remains of their estate other than the adjacent 18th century Greenbank House.
