Description
Lloyd Square was laid out around.1833 by father and son team, John and William Booth for the Lloyd Baker family, which owned the estate until the mid-20th century. The original layout of paths remains, with trees around the perimeter and a central flowerbed surrounded by smaller beds, planted with shrub roses and perennials. The houses around the square, also designed by the Booths, have distinctive pedimented façades. A garden committee run by residents has managed the garden since 1917, and there has been much recent renovation, including the railings (which are original), paths and planting.
