Perrett's Park is a park and open space near Windmill Hill, Bristol. The Park marks part of the boundary between the Windmill Hill and Knowle wards of the city. The land was purchased from Lady Smyth of Ashton Court for £1,000 in 1923, £500 of which was donated by the local councillor Charles Rose Perret, for whom the park is named.[1] The facilities include a paved walkway, benches and a children's play area.
History
editIn the spring of 1923, Charles Perrett managed to obtain an option on 10 acres, formerly part of the Greville Smythe estate at Bayham Road and Sylvia Avenue, two thirds of which was under cultivation as allotments. Mr Perrett stated that 18,000[2] people would be served by the park as a place of recreation and offered to donate £500. The Bristol City Council considered the proposal and the cost was calculated at £5,035 for the land, layout, fencing and the cost of the abutting road. The land was formally acquired in November 1923. In April 1925, the final total was said to be £5,100, which included an abutted portion of road.[3]
Allotments
editThe Perrett's Park Allotment existed prior to the park's creation[3], and now have a capacity of 112 plots. They are accessible via Bayham Road or Knowle Road, and have facilities including a water tap and water trough. They are managed by the Bristol City Council.[4]
