More about this scene

Of Queen's Park's 43 acres, thirteen came from the two landowners, and a further parcel was purchased from the Earl of Crewe in 1904 to provided a park keepers' cottage, a bandstand and a pavilion. By 1909 a splendid bowling green was a new attraction, and in 1949 new greenhouses were constructed.
