Britain's Park Story BBC4
Just watched Britain's Park story on BBC4
It's here on IPlayer until 13 Aug 2010
It covers Birkenhead and Sefton parks in some detail.
I always thought Birkenhead was the first public park in Britain but not so according to this programme. It was well down the list.
I'm confused now.

Yeh,apparently it was the Arboretum,in Derby! But, Birkenhead was, the first publically funded park!(as opposed to private landowners) A good programme,even though Dan Cruikshank gets on my ***!
agreed. Unwatchable without the fast forward button !Originally Posted by wsteve55
