First opened between 1903 and 1930 this parkland has recently seen the demolition of a former miners welfare club (shown on historic mapping) and its replacement with a modern Library building (first depicted Geoinformation Group aerial photography 2002). Otherwise the park appears little changed in its layout with Cricket Ground, Football Pitch, ornamental garden and bowling greens all depicted on the 1930 25 inch survey. Fragmentary legibility of former parliamentary enclosure boundaries at the edges of the polygon.
