Hi tom your clip brought back fond memories for me when i was around 10 yrs going down to Alexandra Park all the way from half-way-house with about 6and 10 of us kids to spend our days out in the park,we used to load up with corporation pop/jam butties etc and spend from late morning until nearly tea time then go home i remember the lovely gardens .the grass tennis courts/ playground area/ and i think there were bowling green in there too for i do know ther is a lovely bowling green on the side of ST.MARK'S church but back then as i say the park was a lot,lot better than it is today. Don't get me wrong i'm not knocking it it's just my thoughts it was a truly wonderfully kept park back in the 1950/60s thank you for the post .G.B.
