Boating On This Lake Seemed Quite Dangerous....

A Memory of Beddington.

I well remember the rowing boats on the lake in Beddington Park. One end of the lake seemed quite dark and sinister, whilst the other was open and safe. I remember creaky oar locks and wooden hulls, and being called in when your time was up.

Beddington Park was a large part of my childhood experience, my earliest photographs were taken near the Grange, and I feel it is part of me 65 years later.

There is nothing wrong with relishing the past....

Hello, I was hoping you could possibly help me. The dark end of the boating lake that you mention, do you remember when that area was fenced off and locked, or any other pictures of the boating lake and park would be interesting. Thank you in advance. Lee
