More about this scene
This small garden is to be found in Bridge End Gardens. The photograph was taken from a viewing platform and, bathed in sunlight, the neatly trimmed hedges are impressive. Unfortunately, most of the bushes, although still cared for, have now lost their distinctive shapes. The fountain in the middle of the pond has now gone.
