Penarth, Alexandra Park c.1955

More about this scene
Taking its name from the wife of Edward VII, the park was officially opened on 25 June 1902 – the date scheduled (but not kept) for his coronation. The 1950s proved somewhat of a flat period for the park. 1951 witnessed the scrapping of its bandstand – a £62 repair estimate was deemed too costly, while 1956 saw the removal of its weather station. The park has long been famed for its topiary; a fine 'modern art' example stands far left.
