More about this scene
A Pavilion by James Tait (1834-1915), typical of the early 1880s, with its hints of Gothic merging into Tudor fram- ing, making a valuable contribution to the ambience of the park, which was laid out in 1882. In this case, the formality of the rose garden enhances rather than detracts from the symmetry of the building.

I was living in the USA at the time and had come over for a 3 week visit to see my family. My dad and I visited the park with my 3 year old daughter and spent the afternoon there getting re-aquainted. I returned to the USA shortly afterwards only to learn that my dad had died suddenly, so it was the last place I was to remember him for years to come. Sonia Brown. (nee George)
