Your Memories
Beaumont Park's Past to Present...
Paintings, pictures, photos and other park memorabilia are always of interest to the Friends. If you own anything along these lines we’d like to know - so we can develop our database of information for reference and possible occasional display. Or if you are keen to donate it - that would be terrific too! Many thanks to people who responded to this appeal for Heritage Day.
If you have a story or memory relating to the park and would like to share it with us and the rest of the world please let us know. You can contact the Friends of Beaumont Park here.
Here’s a few of the memories that have kindly been sent in so far...
