People's Park, Halifax

People's Park was given to the people of Halifax in 1857 by local manufacturer Francis Crossley. He wanted "to arrange art and nature so that they shall be within the walk of every working man in Halifax; that he shall go to take his stroll there after he has done his hard day's toil, and be able to get home without being tired". The park was originally designed by Joseph Paxton and underwent a major restoration in 1995.
It is listed as Grade II* in the Register of Historic Parks and Gardens of special historic interest in England, and the one of the buildings in the park, Crossley Pavilion, is a Grade II* listed building.
