Hanley Parkとは 意味・読み方・使い方

Hanley Park is an urban park in Stoke-on-Trent, England. Officially opened on 20 June 1897, it occupies about 63 acres (25 ha) of land. The area previously comprised a large waste ground called 'Stoke Fields', cut in two by the Caldon Canal. Hanley park developed over a period of five years and cost approximately £70,000. The land was purchased from the estate of Shelton Hall. The lake and park were developed under the supervision of Thomas Hayton Mawson of Windermere. The Pavilion, completed in 1896, was designed by Dan Gibson. The Bandstand was the beneficiary of Mr George Howson, a local pottery owner. The Hanley Park Fete was held from 1897 to 1939 and featured a fun-fair, side shows and a display of fireworks. The Potteries Central Horse Parade (open to anyone living within 10 miles of Hanley Town Hall) was also held annually (but it was never resumed after World War II).
