Inventory Site Record

Old Farm Park is recreational open space alongside the north of the railway line, which was built through the area in the late C19th. The area remained rural into the C20th and this strip of land was left unbuilt when the area to the north was developed for housing. By the 1950s the site was used for allotment gardens and it was laid out as a park by the 1970s.
