GREAT HARWOODOpen spaces / Memorial Park / Garden of Remembrance / Sports Field - Church Lane - Allsprings Drive - Brantfell Road / Bottom Rec. / Lowerfold Park Memorial ParkIn 1921 land near Hindle Fold and Allsprings Drive was given to the Council for pleasure grounds by James Boardman, William Pickup and Henry Milton Thompson. The area to the west of Church Lane was landscaped, trees and shrubs were donated, and became Memorial Park with the Garden of Remembrance, the larger area to the east being used as playing fields.
The Budgie Hut It might not look much but many happy hours were spent here, by the budgies too.
But with "resources" being stretched the birds had to go. Then, with some unauthorised help, the hut was remodeled. Church Lane

Top of the park Pendle Hill Not good but if you can just make out a hazy shape like a cloud in the background that's it.
