    History

    These were bought for the town and officially opened by the Mayor on the 3rd July 1872. They were laid out by Borough surveyor William Andrews and garden Mr Palmer. Although there had been a competition for their design, it was won by Messrs Moring and Vernon, who built some of the houses in Warrior Square.

    The site was originally known as Gensing Wood. Like other gardens of the period there was a carriage drive. Sub tropical plants were a particular feature.
