More about this scene
South-east of the town, along the valley of the River Ise and west of Barton Seagrave village, is The Wicksteed Park with the river dammed to form a large lake as the centrepiece. Around it is a large amusement park, started in the 1930s and still going strong today. The many entertainments include a fairground, boating lake and aviaries. This view shows the boat station by the 1936 hump-backed bridge. Nowadays there is also an elevated monorail. All the buildings, including the distant flat-roofed chalets, survive today.
