Description:
This architectural garden was re-opened in 2007 as a public space after 20 years of closure and is in the early stages of renovation. Situated on a terrace above Duke Street electricity sub-station, it has been described as the Mayfair Estates’ ‘fullest flight of Edwardian baroque’. Designed in 1903 by C. Stanley Peach as an Italian Garden, it replaced an earlier communal garden associated with the surrounding model housing for the working classes.
