What is recorded here

Park, laid out c.1780, as part of the planned development of King's Square. Comprising rectangular lawned space surrounded on all sides by two-storey houses. Roads along sides and east-west through square and diagonally across south-east quadrant. Tree-lined along east-west road and having cast-iron fountain just north of centre of park. Wrought-iron railings around perimeter of park.
This park is an integral part of the King's Square scheme. It is a rare example of an eighteenth-century recreational space and is little changed since it was laid out, with the exception of the later fountain and railings.

This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.
