If you've heard of Henry Tate, it is probably as the co-founder of Tate & Lyle sugar or the founder of the Tate Gallery. But did you know he lived longer in Liverpool than anywhere else, that he had a grocery empire here before investing in sugar and that he was a benefactor to many of Liverpool's charitable, educational and cultural buildings?
