NZ2164 : 'Lovers Gate' by William Pym, Hodgkin Park
taken 15 years ago, 3 km from Dunston, Gateshead, England
'Lovers Gate' by William Pym, Hodgkin Park
The ornamental gates are at the north entrance to the northerly section of Hodgkin Park on Benwell Lane. The wording in painted cut steel is 'From Lovers Lane to Gretna Road' and 'Lover's Refuge / Nature's Asylum'
A reflection of local place names and, I guess, the park's place in local life.

Hodgkin Park, Benwell :: NZ2163
Hodgkin Park was donated to the City Council by Thomas Hodgkin in 1899 for the benefit and recreation of local people. The park originally had bowling greens, bandstands and ponds to complement its substantial tree cover. The park is in two parts, bisected by Armstrong Road. The two parts of the park are different in character. Hodgkin Park north is smaller and more secluded and enclosed. The southern park is more open.
