Aylesbury, The Vale Park c.1950

More about this scene
Old Aylesbury was largely confined to the hilltop area; the surrounding land was somewhat marshy (and unhealthy). The High Street was laid out in 1826 as New Road, but development off the hill was slow. The fields, now The Vale Park, lay between the railway station of 1839 and the gas works at the foot of the hill and the Bear Brook stream. By the 1880s part of it was the town's cricket ground, so it already had some public use.
