Board with history!

The tidied-up board
The tidied-up board

Great to see this notice board – at the entrance to Parade Gardens -tidied up again.

It now bears information about facilities and opening times.

I was quick to criticise the board’s former appearance with a poster slumped in a corner of its locked and glass-covered frame.

While that has been removed it has also taken away the interesting information printed upon it.

The original 'fallen' poster which people could not read.

That original poster told the history of this flower-filled parkland and explained a little of the features it contains.

Now it is gone and with it – the gardens reason-for-being.

The information put things in context and helped visitors to this city – crammed with history and heritage – appreciate  a little of the past as well as the present.

Bring it back and please put it somewhere so people can read it.
