Additional Information:
The speaker is Mr David Ivison, the Vice-Chairman of the Royal Parks Guild’s Management Committee.
Mr Ivison will explain that trenches were dug in Kensington Gardens, the lake in St. James’s Park was drained to build Government offices,
secret experiments were conducted in Richmond Park and potatoes were planted in the flower beds outside Buckingham Palace.
This promises to give a fascinating insight into the past usages of familiar places in central London and locally. We shall view them differently henceforth!
