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 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 looking north-west .On the left hand side, the street with the parked caravan is Bedford Street.
