Good playground and a lovely tree filled setting. The one downside is that the play equipment lacks shade, so get that sunscreen on beforehand!

decent little park. Can be a bit sketchy walking through here at night.

Memories of the Victorian period mansion which stood on the site 40 years ago and stripping the copper of the roofs for recycling and extra pocket money. Memories of being lonely and broken. Memories of using drugs 30 years later and falling asleep behind the tennis court. My boyhood home just down the street. What happened to the people I once knew? My family? What happened to me?
