Ward End Park

I can remember the boat shed in the park and where the swings used to be. There was a cafe-cum-ice cream seller in the white house and the most beautiful greenhouse full of strange plants that to a child looked very scary. Every year the gardeners would plant the loveliest scenes in the flowerbed close to the white house and the park keeper knew all the local kids. In turn I took my kids to enjoy the pond and flowers and to feed the ducks. It is so different now. There also used to be a mini golf course and bowling green. The more I talk the more there is to remember. I lived around the area all my life.
