When I was at Uni I had a summer job as 'Park Patrol' in Milnshaw. (This was ~87). At that time there were 2 groundsmen employed to look after that one park (Although they did grow plants in teh greenhouses for Gatty as well.) My job was to stop kids wrecking the joint. I used to organise games of footy, sort out the tennis nets and other jobs. The old dears looked aftyer teh bowling green although we used to have a good few kids who would often have a game with the owd codgers.

Sadly cost cutting meant that teh gardeners wre asked to take on more parks and eventually they couldn't keep up.
