The lovely Park Road Gardens, in Grange-over-Sands is one of the jewels of the Cumbrian coast of Morecambe Bay.
I like to photograph it through the seasons.
Through November, it completes its departure as a summer haven and takes on a beautifully melancholy palette of fading golds.
One other transformation is unexpected. A hidden path from a former iteration of the park’s design opens up to reveal a clear view down to the promenade and shore.
Although only a short distance to the sea, the old path would now cross the main Barrow-in-Furness railway line … so you can see why it was horticulturally concealed- to discourage children from trying!
There is though that lovely feeling of having uncovered a phase of local history.
