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 for a public park Ten years later additional land was acquired on the western side of Pendle water. The photograph shows part of this additional land from near the park entrance on Park Avenue, towards the bridge over Pendle Water (far right) and shows details of the flower beds. In the distance can be seen the caravans for Nelson Fair, which used to be held on the Recreation Ground.
