Question
Answer
The two maps show images of a park approximately one hundred years apart. The park has changed
almost entirely since it was first opened in 1920.
In 1920, the park had a fountain in the centre, and to the west of that was a stage for musicians.
There were rose gardens in the north-west and south-west corners, as well as one in the north-east,
next to a pond for water plants. In the south-east of the park there was a glasshouse. There were
also seats located around the edges of the park.
Today, there is little that remains of the original features, except for the two entrances and one of
the rose gardens. The fountain has been replaced by a central rose garden, which is surrounded by
seats, and to the west there is now an amphitheatre. The water pond has made way for a children’s
play park, and the nearby rose garden has been turned into a café.
