Victoria Park, Nelson
General notes
Through the trees can be seen the open area that was originally the recreation ground (rec). This whole area, (recreation grounds and park), which extended to 20 acres, was purchased by Nelson Local Board from Mr Every-Clayton in 1886. Initially, (as shown on the 1st series 1:2500 map of 1894), it was divided into areas for boys and girls. Later this distinction disappeared. In the mid 20th century the area was used for various events including the fair during Wakes Weeks.
