Bedford, The Promenade 1897

More about this scene
On the north bank, Embankment Gardens were laid out in the late 1880s with wide tree-lined walks along the river bank. There are ornamental flower beds amid grass between the walks and The Embankment road, which curves away from the river to accommodate the park before coming closer to the river near the Suspension Bridge. To the north of The Embankment, prosperous 1890s villas were built, most of which survive unchanged.
