The Lake, Queen's Park
Excavated in the 1890s when the Corporation relaid the park for public use. Previously the area that lies in a small valley had been a skating rink.
The park was first laid out in 1824 as a subscription park, acquired by Thomas Attree in 1825 who commissioned Charles Barry to design two entry arches and a villa in 1829, the latter was demolished in 1972. The park was given its current name in 1836 and presented to the Corporation in 1891 for use as a public park. It was laid out again over the following year and formally opened in 1892.
