Colour postcard of view of Pulham rockwork cascade at Battersea Park. Ink: Dear Ida (With fondest love, Florrie) I received your P.C. safely, like it very much, it looks like a country church. I expect you were surprise to see him on his bike at Pinner, I should have been. I wonder how the one in Brown's getting on. I am sorry our holidays are soon up, are you coming back Tuesday, I am. I wrote to Eve 2 weeks ago, but have had no reply. Weather a little better now. This is in the Park I told you about. I have seen it many times. XXXXX (Write soon) (address in Pinner supplied). Battersea Park was proposed as a new royal park in 1845, and James Pennethorne was the original designer, officially in charge from 1846 to 1864; but John Gibson, who became its superintendent, proposed an altered design which was adopted. The park opened in 1858. Gibson created his "subtropical garden", which gave its name to foliage gardening in the 19th century, in 1863; in 1866 Pulham & Son created the cascade. Later additions included the Old English Garden (1912), the Festival of Britain gardens (1951), the Fun Fair (1951), and the Peace Pagoda (1985)
