Burnley, Queen's Park 1895

More about this scene
The design for this park cleverly concealed a mineral railway line, which crossed the park from Bank Hall Colliery (owned by the Thursbys) to join the mineral tramway, which served Rowley Colliery. Queen's Park was laid out by Burnley Corporation, and it is a typical park of its time. There were two bowling greens and two children's playgrounds. The picture shows three buildings — the central one, a shelter, is still with us. To the right there is another shelter, but this has been removed. The small structure on the right was a bandstand.
