More about this scene
100 acres was considered enough for a park, and the rest was made available for what was to become Park Road with North and South Parades. The park at that time edged the river, but a road has now been built. The 'peoples' park' was opened in 1871 amid scenes of great jubilation. Later, a local lady complained that she could not send her children to the park with their nanny because of rough youths, so two park constables were appointed.
