Episode 248: Rediscovery, renovation, renewal, and Rockery - stories from Bromley Palace Park

Darren Weale talks with people enjoying the recent opening of the new Free Little Library in Bromley Palace Park- Facebook page here and Instagram here. 

The location is one of the few in our list of the Hidden gems of Bromley on the Bromley Buzz website. Darren talks with:

• Dawn Adamson, a Friend Of Bromley Palace Park
• Tony Banfield of the Bromley Civic Society and former Chairman of the Friends of Bromley Parks
• Children's author Allison Parkinson
• Volunteer builder and woodworker Andrew - apologies for inaccurately referring to 3 Little Libraries, there are currently 2, both of them lovely!

We previously shared Cllr Jonathan Andrews, Mayor Of Bromley, speech recorded on the day, which can be heard here. 

Listen to hear about St Blaise's Well; Penelope Pigstop; biodiversity; the moat and lake -  once the property of the Bishop of Rochester; the Boathouse that could be restored; birds such as coots, geese, ducks, herons, egret, little grebes, and bats to be found there and on the Merlin App; The Cascade; the Pulhamite Rockery rediscovered; the  ha-ha; and the formal lawn. Above all the, wonderful people renewing this hidden gem.

We are spreading the love!
