Edwardian Heyday 1

The old millpond was the most visited feature in the park. Exotic wildfowl were kept on the pond and a rustic duckhouse sat on a small island in the centre. There was a fountain at the other end of the pond and a path ran along the far side and passed underneath a viewing platform. The top postcard, posted in 1911, shows these features clearly, the bottom postcard complete with Edwardian lady shows the path that used to exist on the far side of the pond.
