Parkitecture - Buildings and Monuments of Public Parks
With many visits to parks looking at bandstands in particular, I do come across many other features of beauty and rich in heritage. Such as? fountains, gates, lodges, bridges, memorials, clocks, sundials, aviaries, cafes, boat houses, railings, statues... even cannons.
So I thought it would be great to add a page as there are some beautiful structures out there. Worth a book on this alone? Yes of course and here it is

Congleton Park - this stunning Walter Macfarlane drinking fountain.
Walter Macfarlane as always leaves his mark
Beckenham Rec - Bromley, great gates and lodge is just superb.
Bedford Park - Bedford - gates dedicated from 1888
Bedford Park - lodge and gates. Lived in and loved.
