Late 19th century town planning in action. From York Bridge, left SP3165 : York Bridge, Leamington, the borough engineer William Louis de Normanville laid out Library Walk, centre, which created a pedestrian route from the town centre to the railway stations and the library from 1898. The steps, foreground, mark the eastern end of York Promenade, opened in 1893, which connects to the New River Walk, now part of Victoria Park, by underpass below Adelaide Bridge. A ramp, right, was provided for bathchairs and perambulators.
