The Meadows is an area of grassland and wetlands by the sides of Chester’s River Dee in what is known as the "Earl's Eye". It was bought in 1929 by two citizens, Harry Faulkner Brown and his wife Louise Phyllis Brown who then formally transferred ownership to Chester City Council “for the land to be forever maintained and preserved as a recreation ground for the use of citizens.” http://www.friendsofthemeadows.org.uk/?page_id=66
