More about this scene

Lady Daresbury took great pride in developing botanical gardens at Walton with specimen planting in the style of Kew; thousands of local people enjoyed visiting them on annual open days. In December 1941 Warrington Borough Council purchased the Hall and 171 surrounding acres from the Greenall family for £19,000. Since 1945, Walton Gardens have been a popular public park.

If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?

I went to the park as a little girl as I lived at the public house the Walton Arms where I was born. I watched the dual carriageway being built, behind the pub. My grandfather worked at the Walton Hall with the horses and carriages, and another relation was a maid in the hall, I have got photos somewhere.
