The Lord Mayor of Liverpool, Erica Kemp, has opened the city's new eye centre at Spire One Penny Lane.
The new clinic, which has recently been renovated by Spire Liverpool Hospital, now stands as a state-of the-art medical facility, but, as Spire puts it, ‘still with all the quirks and uniqueness the listed sandstone building has to offer’.
Building contractors, Lindrick Construction, has spent the past six months refurbishing the iconic Victorian sandstone building, every aspect of which has been sympathetically restored to complement the surrounding buildings, at the heart of a Conservation Village area. In addition to The Liverpool Eye Centre, the clinic also offers dermatology, and cosmetic and private GP services with TV doctor, Dr Arun Ghosh. The Hewitt Fertility Centre will now also offer consultations at Spire One Penny Lane with fertility specialist Charles Kingsland.
Spire Healthcare said: “Every aspect and detail of the clinic has been thought of to give patients the personalised experience in the privacy and comfort of the plush surroundings.
Alison Peake, Hospital Director at Spire Liverpool Hospital said: "The new facility has been refurbished to the highest standards, to give us the space to expand the hospital and the services we offer. The Liverpool Eye Centre in particular is a major new facility for the city, as it is the first of its kind in Liverpool."
The Lord Mayor, Erica Kemp said: "One Penny Lane is an iconic building and it's great to see it being put to good use, to house a cutting edge medical facility. It is wonderful to see such excellent facilities being offered in Penny Lane.”
