The Hadleigh Castle Country Park (now called the Hadleigh Country Park http://www.hadleighcountrypark.co.uk/HadleighPark.htm) was a long time in gestating. Much of the drive for its establishment came from Councillor Dennis Nisbet, seen in this image at the opening ceremony. The park was officially opened at this event by Sir Derek Barber, chairman of the Countryside Commission. However, I have shown Dennis Nisbet as I consider he was the one worthy of illustration! The date was sometime in the summer of 1987.
