"Originally laid out as a private garden for the Burton family, St Leonards Gardens was bought by the town for £9,000 in 1879. The gardens had two ponds and a maze, which proved very popular and gave Maze Hill its name. Gothic-style buildings were built around the wooded valley. The gateway to St. Leonards Gardens is an imposing Burton building." (information sourced from www.hastings.inuk.com ) The gardens feature Braille name plates for the planting. I am unsure whether this still relates to the planting.
