Flower beds in Victoria Park
Nelson
In 1886 a local act was passed giving Nelson Local Board the power to create recreation grounds. In May of that year an agreement was signed with Mr Every-Clayton for the purchase of 20 acres for recreation grounds adjacent to Carr Road and east of Pendle Water. Of this 8 acres were set aside for a public park. Ten years later further land was acquired on the western side of Pendle Water. The photograph shows part of this extension with the houses of Park Avenue visible through the trees.
