Avenham Park and Preston Station, as presented by Roberts & Co estate agents, Preston, UK.
As a Historic England Grade II listed park, Avenham Park features a number of historical structures such as The Belvedere, The Swiss Chalet, The Boer War Memorial and Riverside Walk. The park is one of two city centre Victorian parks in Preston, the other being its neighbour – Miller Park. The two parks are separated by the East Lancashire Railway embankment. The East Lancashire Railway line closed in the 1970s although the viaduct across the river, which is a Grade II listed building, remains in use.
The park was designed by Edward Milner as a “harmonious whole” including Miller Park. Most notable among its many features is the Japanese garden which was added in the 1930s when this type of design became fashionable.
Another major feature of the park is The Belvedere, a pavilion on high ground overlooking the main park and river. It was originally located in Miller Park but was moved to make way for the statue of the Earl of Derby. The Belvedere is known locally as the “White House” or the “Light House”.
Worth a visit for the stunning views, lovely riverside walks and relaxed atmosphere, Avenham and Miller Parks are simply beautiful!
