Father's Connection With The Park

A Memory of Holbeach.

My father worked in the field that became Carters Park when Mr Carter gave it to the town.  He was Cyril King and he was aged 13 at the time, having left school to work on the land.  It is very moving as he died in 2003 and his ashes are now in the cemetery directly opposite the park.  He eventually went on to farm down Crown Colony/Sluice Road Holbeach Marsh until his retirement.
