In 1986, Liverpool County Museums, including Sudley, became the National Museums & Galleries on Merseyside, now known as National Museums Liverpool. Since the 1990s, they have been gradually returning the downstairs rooms to the style in which they were decorated and furnished when the Holts lived in the house. As all of Sudley’s original furniture was sold in 1946, they have installed furniture similar to those pieces which were once in the house, choosing, whenever possible, items in the Aesthetic taste which George Holt obviously favoured.

In the future, they aim to re-create Sudley’s bedrooms, so that visitors may experience the feeling of stepping back in time and seeing the house in the same style that George and Emma Holt loved.
