More about this scene
Roath Park was laid out in 1894 at a cost of £62,000 - a considerable sum in those days. The land, 132 acres, was presented to the city by Lord Bute. The lake extended to 32 acres, and once incorporated a swimming-pool. Skiffs were available for hire, such as the one to the left of the picture. The rower in the foreground would appear to be a park warden, judging by his cap.
