Church House Gardens – Springs, fish pond and thatched bandstands
Welcome to Church House Gardens and it’s historic features! This location is the first stop in this park for heritage and biodiversity trail around the green spaces in Bromley Town Centre.
This post is a work in progress.
The spring line.
The fish ponds… old map
The amphitheatre on the left was constructed in the Great Depression, a constructive project to create work. Originally it had a little bandstand in the lake, thatched, connected to land with a little bridge. This was burnt out in the 1970s, and a concrete stage placed on the other side of the lake. This is now derelict (about 2010, it was functional in 2006) and the lower tiers of the amphitheatre have been filled in to create another stage.
