More about this scene
Described as a new lung for the town, these recreation grounds and ornamental gardens were constructed from derelict land next to the railway embankment. The opening by Lady and Sir Percy Jackson took place on Saturday afternoon 7th October 1933. The much larger Queen's Park (1897) gives splendid views right over the town.
