More about this scene
The commons were largely enclosed in 1855, but the pond area was retained by the lord of the manor, Lord Sackville. It was finally bought by the council in 1922 for £3,000, and became a public open space. A popular location, it is somewhat surrounded by uninspiring housing estates and housing, such as the 1950s Bell Banks bungalows opposite, but it and Bell Banks Road are living links with the town's distant past.
