The two maps show how Grange Park changed between 1920 and the present day. Overall, it is evident that the area underwent a substantial transformation, with significant changes occurring across almost the entire site.
Turning first to the north-western and south-western sections of the site, several significant changes can be observed over the period. Initially, in 1920, there were two rose gardens and several seating areas in these parts of the park. The rose gardens remained in their original locations, while the seats were relocated to the centre of the park, where additional seating were provided. Moreover, the stage for musicians in the western part was demolished and replaced by a large amphitheatre for concerts. The fountain in the central area was also removed, while a new rose garden was introduced in the centre.
Moving on to the north-eastern and south-eastern parts of the map, a number of major changes can be seen. The rose garden in the north-east was demolished to make way for a café, while the pond for water plants was replaced by a children’s play area. In the south-east, the original seating area was removed and the land was subsequently levelled. In addition, the glasshouse was replaced with a large water feature, and an underground entrance was also added to the park.
Overall, the park has been extensively redeveloped, with most of its original features either being removed, relocated or replaced by new facilities.
