More about this scene
Williamson Park was begun in the late 1860s as a scheme for the unemployed; they were to turn the bleak moorland and the quarries, that had once provided so much stone for the building of Lancaster, into a charming and interesting park. Work improving the park carried on for over twenty-five years. It was James Williamson, who had made his money in linoleum, who paid for the park, and his son (also James), later Lord Ashton, carried on the support. Here we see the lake and fountain, and the Ashton Memorial towering over the landscape.
