More about this scene
In 1921 Uttoxeter Urban District Council set up a committee to provide a recreation ground. Mr C H Elkes, a local businessman, offered an eleven-acre field sloping down to the Picknall or Hockley Brook. The recreation ground was opened in 1925. In 1953 festivities were held here to celebrate Queen Elizabeth's coronation. It is used regularly today for sporting activities, and creates a green avenue through the town to the Hockley Bridge.
