Winter Gardens is a grade II* listed Victorian cast iron and glass building in Great Yarmouth, England. Located next to Wellington Pier, it is the only remaining iron and glass seaside winter garden in England, and was one of the three largest structures of this type in the nation.
Initially completed in Torquay in 1881 by John Watson and William Harvey, it was moved by barge to Yarmouth in 1903 or 1904 after being initially unsuccessful. It has been closed since 2008 after falling into disrepair, though is due to undergo restoration works costing £18 million.
