A Walk in the Park
|
A mad dash through the snows of Russia on a horsedrawn sleigh; the temperance campaigner who got so drunk on the bus from Darlington to Barnard Castle that he couldn't speak when he arrived; the gunsmith who blew up Darlington town centre; a brutal slaying and a haunting ghost story...
all of these can be found in this history of Darlington's South Park, and the town's other green spaces. This book, full of historic pictures and historic pictures and fascinating tales from the past, is compiled from The Northern Echo's popular Echo Memories column by Chris Lloyd. It coincides with Darlington council spending £3.9m of National Lottery money on the restoration of South Park.
