More about this scene
The Helen Garden, opened in September 1933, was given to the town by the late Mrs Helen Reid Stewart Hornby Lewis, as a plaque informs us. The hedges, plantings, paths and the thatched pavilions have strikingly civilised what was a windswept bare grass area. Beyond are the late Victorian buildings of St Bede's Preparatory School.

This park is about half a mile from where I grew up, my mum brought me here many times. I was four when this photo was taken, so I would have been here regularly around this time. When I started school my mum would bring me here after school to burn off any excess energy, before taking me home.
