Hi Hilary, when I was a kid Newsham Park was just so beautiful. I go far enough to have used the row boats, before the were destroyed in the early '60's. I even remember the windmill by the small pond. I don't think too many on here would remember that. Walking thru. the gardens alongside Judges drive was an experience to be remembered. It's a shame so many of the parks have been allowed to decay and be taken over by smackheads.
