Lyle Park
Lyle Park opened in 1924 and was donated by Golden Syrup manufacturer Abraham Lyle & Son whose factory was and still is nearby. It is one of three parks in the London Borough of Newham with a view of the River Thames, the others being Thames Barrier Park and Royal Victoria Gardens. It used to be fairly open but is now becoming totally surrounded by high rise flats and has a rather sad feel.

Steps in Lyle Park
Lyle Park opened in 1924 and was donated by Golden Syrup manufacturer Abraham Lyle & Son whose factory was and still is nearby. It is one of three parks in the London Borough of Newham with a view of the River Thames, the others being Thames Barrier Park and Royal Victoria Gardens. It used to be fairly open but is now becoming totally surrounded by high rise flats and has a rather sad feel.
At the top of the steps are an impressive set of iron gates. A plaque at the foot of these gates which is now almost hidden by a plant reads "These ornamental gates stood at the entrance to Harland & Wolff Ltd. Shipbuilders, Ship Repairers and Engineers in Woolwich Manor Way. The company opened on the site in 1924 and closed in 1972." For a close up see https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/7395801
