LIVERPOOL'S former International Garden Festival site has won a historic award for being the most influential landscape development in Britain built since 1970.
The waterfront site, which has been left to rot for almost 18 years, beat off seven other nominees including the Canary Wharf docklands estate in London, the Newbury bypass and Royal Exchange Square, in Glasgow.
Around 5,000 members of the Landscape Institute nominated and voted for their favourite projects for the one-off prize for "most influential development undertaken between 1970 and 2004", to mark the British Landscape Institute's 75th anniversary.
