Queen's Gardens were formerly private residential gardens in Palmyra Square and were purchased in 1897 to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of Warrington Borough Council and Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee. They opened to the public on 17th October 1898. A wealthy local businessman, Robert Garnett donated the appropriate centrepiece, a Queen Victoria Jubilee cast iron drinking fountain by MacFarlane's of Glasgow (identical to the one on Hoylake promenade).
