The autumn colours are starting to grow more vibrant, and are seen here at Haslam Park in Preston. The trees are varies and wonnderful here, including Wych Elm, Lime trees (a whole avenue of them!) plus horse chestnut, oak, holly, birch willows and walnut and lilac, rowan maple and black poplarand many many others!
In 1908 Miss Mary Haslam presented the town of Preston with an estate comprising 46 acres farmland, to be laid out as a 'public park, with the condition that a large part should always be reserved for quiet recreation apart from games'. Every year since 2006 the park has proudly flown its Green Flag, with the area to the north of the park becoming Haslam Park Nature Reserve.
Entering Haslam Park from Blackpool Road through the wrought iron gates designed by architect Thomas Mawson you will find some of its original features. Dated around the time of the park's construction in 1910 is the lime tree avenue, a drinking fountain and gated stone steps also designed by Mawson. The rose garden at the end of the avenue is a later addition though in keeping with Mawson's original plan.
