Lowther Gardens

The gardens were laid out by Squire J Talbot Clifton in 1872 and named after his wife, Lady Eleanor Cecily Clifton of the Lowther family, opening on 30 August. It was set out on poor grazing land once known as “Hungry Moor”. The Gardens were given to the town in 1905 and the local authority added the Lowther Pavilion in 1921.
