The old beech

After a few of our members met up in Manor Heath Park recently, member Brigitte has finished and shared her picture.

The photograph below from the Halifax Courier shows some of the park’s trees surrounding the Victorian mansion before it was demolished in 1958. Three years later the new sunken garden in the mansion’s original footprint was opened, and the sundial where our members met up was placed at its centre.
