Denaby Memorial Park Scheme.
The trustees of the Denaby Memorial Park have now made a definite move for the provision of much needed park for Denaby.
Just after the war, Mr. F. J. O. Montagu handed over to the residents of Denaby Main plot of land of about three acres off Doncaster Road, at Lowfield Junction, for the establishment a park with memorial arches to the men of the and Cadeby Collieries who fell in the Great War.
Lack of funds caused a hold-up of the project, but it has now been decided, subject Mr, Montagu’s approval, to hand over the land to the Conisborough Urban Council to be converted into park similar to Coronation Park in Conisborough.
The Trustees only desire to be permitted erect in appropriate memorial, towards which it is learned about £100 is in hand.
It has been found that a portion of the Denaby British Legion Bowling Green has been laid on the Trustees’ land, and that a slight portion of Epworth Mission Hall also encroaches, but it is intended let them remain undisturbed
