General notes

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 'free access' and the remainder for cricket matches, horticultural fairs etc. The photograph shows part of this original 8 acres, shown on the 1893 1:2500 map as Nelson Park.
