Hey guys!

I have not got them up yet but plan to in the next couple of days. Was clearing out some old things and came across a book which had two or three photos of Alton Towers Gardens and the surrounding area like the lake, conservatory etc. Would anyone want to see these or have a use for them? Happy to put them on here

All the best
;)

HOPE THIS WORKS!!!  [-o< not sure what happened but it looks odd on mine, just right click on the image icon on here and click open in new tab, works that way :)

The Conservatories at Alton Towers, foudn all these photos in a book called "The Gardens of England in the Midlands & Eastern Counties". Not sure as to when it was published but 1908 is written in pencil on the front page so maybe then.

View across the lake, this looks like down in the gardens by the looks of it.

Garden walls

Yew Tree Arches, if you look in the background you can see the top of the pagoda.
Hope people liked this, sorry for the wait! :)
