Every place deserves a park, and every park deserves its story, so today I can announce the publication of the “big bumper history book about Chorlton Park”.
It’s got the lot from what was there before the park including the racecourse, observatory, and posh 18th century house.And by degree moves on to why Chorlton residents wanted a place to play, its opening in 1928 and lots more from the open-air swimming pool, the paddling pool, open air theatre and that pets corner, along with two bowling greens, heaps of tennis courts, some football pitches, and the lost air raid shelter.
nothing to do in chorlton …… Chorlton Park – Stolen By Withington And then Returned will be published in December, and is available from us www.pubbooks.co.uk Chorlton Book Shop and cost £5.
It is the fifth in our very popular nothing to do in chorlton.
It is small enough to fit in a pocket, be carried in a bag and with a tilt at those winter festivals will be perfect as a stocking filler, as well as a surprise gift for Hanukkah.
