Things that have been lost from the park in my living memory, [1965.]

-Tennis courts.
-Paddling pool.
-A park keeper.
-The bandstand.
-Pitch and put.
-Toilets.
-A cafe.
-Flower beds.
-A sand pit.
-Tarmaced paths.

I count myself lucky that I can't remember Rhyddings Hall, given to the people of Oswaldtwistle as a museum/art gallery, and sadly demolished by the council in it's wisdom. A neglected crown, sadly missing what could have been a sparkling jewel.
