Crocuses in Victoria Park
Crocuses are growing on the lawn in Victoria Park, Denton, although they are not as abundant as in 2011 SJ9295 : Crocuses in Victoria Park. In the background is the swimming baths. A mural on the wall celebrates the hatting industry in the town.
Denton Mural
The Denton mural was painted on the wall of Denton Pool facing Victoria Park in 2000. It was conceived by David Vaughan and commissioned by the Denton Town Twinning Association. It serves to commemorate both the second millennium and the continuing friendship between the people of Denton and Montigny le Brettoneux.
A stitched "pano" of the mural can be found at Link
