Path, Royal Victoria Gardens
Image: © Robin Webster Taken: 5 Mar 2011
Rather oddly still descending at some distance back from the river bank. The gardens are of some age, called Pavilion Gardens on an 1869 map. Then, the tennis court ahead was a maze, and other features now lost were a Ball Room, a Dining Saloon and a Dancing Platform. There was also, amazingly, a rifle range down the principal west - east path (at the end of this one). One hopes the gardens were closed and well policed when this was in use.
