Paul Rabbitts celebrates the wonderful range of architecture to be found in British parks.

What are the ingredients of our great British public parks? We often think of the wider landscape of trees, grass, lakes, meandering footways, bedding displays and herbaceous borders. But they are much more than this. Among the parkitecture featured here are bowling greens; bandstands; gates, railings and boundaries; fountains; glass houses, palm houses, winter gardens and conservatories; refreshments rooms; lodges and pavilions; bridges and boathouses; aviaries; children’s play areas, and statues, memorials and monuments.

This book acts as a long overdue celebration of the buildings and monuments of our public parks.

Paul Rabbitts is a landscape architect and Parks Manager at Norwich City Council and is the author of over 35 books, ranging from the history of public parks, the royal parks, to the iconic Victorian bandstand and has also written a number of books on architecture in Amberley Publishing’s ‘In 50 Buildings’ series focusing on towns and cities across Britain. He is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts, a Fellow of the Royal Historical Society and a Member of the Chartered Institute of Horticulture.
