More about this scene
This ten-acre park was purchased by the council with the help of donations in 1904 from the landowner, Mrs Maynell Ingram of Temple Newsam House, Leeds. When she died later in the year, more land was also bought. Part of it was used as a rubbish tip, but landscaping began in 1905 with the laying out of the first bowling green. Swings and slides and a roundabout were installed for youngsters at a cost of £59. The cenotaph war memorial, left, and the boating pond are still here for the residents of the town.
