More about this scene
In 1965 the birds still sang in the Town Hall gardens, and although relatively noisy, it was an extremely pleasant place to sit and mull over the fortunes of the day. Dominated by the Town Hall on its west side, and sheltered by trees and hedges, sandwiches could be consumed and pigeons fed on the crusty remnants. Hairgrip fencing, that universal symbol of municipal parks, adds a slightly discordant, keep-off-the-grass note to the scene.
