A quick trip round Roberts Park


Although recently refurbished, the age of this building (the Half Moon Cafe, in Roberts Park, Saltaire) is clear to see.


And the family crest (above the bird bath), shows Sir Titus Salt to be the inspiration behind the construction; providing a place of recreation for his workers to enjoy.


The bandstand looks splendid in its new paint.





Along the long walkway, three shelters provide seating


...and there are outdoor benches for good weather too.


And, the whole is overlooked by Sir Titus himself.

    Much better. Good pictures. Unbelievable 1870 work. Looks bran new! Sir Titus is a tad dark. Never will he mind though!

    And will Jenny be doing a guest appearance on your A-Z of Derbyshire life? I often think that municipal parks are seriously under-appreciated. Fine images.

    I'd sure like to sit on the bench and listen to some music from that pretty band shell!
