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.

Lyle Park
Lyle Park is truly hidden away, the only access being from Bradfield Road at present seemingly through a building site. There is no hint from the road of what lies within, including these wrought iron gates from the Harland and Wolff shipyard brought here as a reminder of the area's industrial heritage. This is one of only two riverside parks within the Borough of Newham and is by far the oldest.

Historic gates 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.
A plaque at the foot of these gates which is now almost hidden by the plant in the middle of this photograph 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." Their setting in the park can be seen at www.geograph.org.uk/photo/7395816
