Originally a cricket ground for workers of the adjacent Railway Village, The Park was landscaped in 1871-2 and a park-keeper's lodge and greenhouses built. Formal gardens were also laid out. The lodge was subsequently demolished and little evidence remains of the gardens. However, The Park remains a popular town-centre amenity for local residents and workers.
