In its heyday, Coronation Park was a popular venue for residents of Pill, a short Transporter Bridge ride away, across the River Usk. While the bridge is closed for restoration work, Pill residents would need to make a trip of several miles, via Corporation Road and Stephenson Street, to visit the park. There are no houses adjacent to Coronation Park, only offices and industrial premises, which explains the absence of human activity here (apart from the photographer!). The view is from the northwest corner of the park, adjacent to the Transporter Bridge.
