In 1961 the Ecclesiastical Commissioners gifted the Park to the people of South Shields, in recognition of the part they played in winning the 1939 - 1945 war at sea. The Park is named in memory of a former Archbishop of Canterbury, Archbishop Temple (1881 - 1944). A program of path building and improvement was initiated in 2011. This path is signed "John Reid Way". Is this the same John Reid who was a prominent member of the last Labour government?
