Tulips
A Memory of Cannon Hill Park.
I remember walking through cannon hill park in 1957 8 & 9 in the spring when they had the tulip festival on, there were coloured lights and classical music playing all along the walkway of the boating pond, where there were the dutch market stalls were on show making clogs ( wooden shoes ) and also selling them, and you could smell the melted dutch cheese and every planting plot was filled with tulips of all diferent colours and sizes, what a great memory of the steel band playing with young couples holding hands, there was so much love and I allway`s remember when I visit the park up till this day, and all the other fixtures such as the greenhouse full of exotic plants,trees and fish including the banana plantation which was on the was all situated on the left hand side of of the main entrance which has now been taken down for safety, but if you look there you can still see the path and the old fish pond which is now filled in with soil, what great memories. regards kevin thornton
