The Glass Pavilions. Initiated in 1833, the Gardens were designed by Robert Marnock for the recreation and education of members of the original Sheffield Botanical & Horticultural Society. The Gardens opened to a paying public in 1836 but by the turn of the century Sheffield Town Trust owned them. The Trust instituted free public access, which still remains today. A seven-year, £6.69 million, restoration project funded through the Heritage Lottery Fund’s Urban Parks Programme was completed in December 2005.
