Mature trees in Rockley Memorial Gardens, Park Road. Park Road is off Shelford Road (i.e. the road between Radcliffe and Shelford). The gardens were gifted to the town's inhabitants by Mr Lisle Rockley in memory of his son who was killed during WWI. Several plaques on the rear wall of this rain shelter provide details of the locations of trees and shrubs; recognition of the four gardeners who have tended this oasis since 1927 and a memorial plaque referring to the death of Lt. Wm. Lisle Rockley and his comrades who fell at Ypres. There are also two entrance/exit gates (ahead) onto a nearby cliff-top path overlooking the River Trent.
