View of the bandstand in Chapeltown Recreation Ground. The photograph has been tinted to give an artist's impression of the newly painted bandstand. Chapeltown Recreation Ground covered an area of between 6 and 7 acres and was purchased by the council in 1897. It was opened in a special ceremony held on 2nd July 1900 presided over by the Lord Mayor of Leeds, Ald. John Gordon. In the early years the committee decided to reorganise the space so as to provide more grassed areas for children to play, reducing the size of the original ornamental gardens. A cricket ground and a bowling green were also laid out. The park could be accessed by people travelling the tram route along Chapeltown Road and Regent Street. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | Bandstand park Chapel Allerton Recreation Ground | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
