The delightfully named 'Tittybottle Park' which was restored in 2011. The origin of the name - a nickname really - is reportedly that nursemaids would gather there in earlier times when this was an affluent part of the town to chat and feed their babies. The view is from the entrance gate. It seems that there are other parks known by the same name, either officially or colloquially - here's one from Otley - https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1937873 .
