About the Photograph

This photo was taken in April during the lockdown. The photo is taken in the Japanese Garden within Avenham Park.

Avenham and Miller Park were created in the 1860s, during the Cotton Famine. Both parks were designed by the landscape architect Edward Milner, with the intention of creating a ‘harmonious whole’. The Japanese Gardens were added in 1936 .
