More about this scene

In direct contrast to the Pavilion by James Tate in Abbey Park, here is a brick and render symmetrical watered-down vision of the future as seen through the eyes of the Council of the early 1960s in Victoria Park. It is regrettable that the Pavilion is clearly visible from London Road as one arrives from the south, and it may be that a tree screen could be considered helpful.

i had to walk over vicky park to school for four years 54-58 , i remember the cafe opening a crowd of us used to go there on sunday mornings. all of whom ive lost touch when i joined the royal marines in 1960 if you know me contact me
I had many fond memories of my school days at Lancaster Boys and of course Victoria Park, Saturdays after playing rugby for the school would often call in the pavilion for a quick snack... these where great times!
