Description: | Undated.
Early view of Dartmouth Park. The site was gifted in May 1887. In the May of the following year Earl of Dartmouth cut the first sod and the whole of Morley was decorated in celebration of this event. Dartmouth Park opened on 24th May 1890 on the 15 acre site. The Council had spent ?5,000 on the layout of the park as a 'delightful place for the spending of leisure' for the people of Morley. The layout included a band stand, seen right, flower beds, open spaces and a drinking fountain. Morley was once again decorated for the open day to welcome the Earl of Dartmouth and the Countess and Lady Lewisham. It turned out to be a beautiful day in May.
