Up until today I had always known this as the rockery but it appears rookery is the correct (or at least original) title http://www.mybrightonandhove.org.uk/page_id__6231_path__0p224p1271p1281p.aspx The rookery is part of Preston Park though located on the opposite side of the road. the area is the largest municipal rock garden in Britain built up the side of a steep railway embankment. Various pathways and streams wind through its grounds. It was originally a wooded area which had been purchased along with the land used for the main park; it was landscaped into its present form in 1935 by Captain B Maclaren. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Preston_Park,_Brighton
