You may have made your way into the park via one of the Pedestrian Gates in recent times and noticed that some have been given names. Some also have a board giving a description of how and why these names were chosen.

Local 'Midland Red' Bus Ticket

A Local Bus Ticket from the early days of the 'Midland Red'

This bus ticket has been out of sight for possibly 100 years! Only coming to light recently, it was found in the middle of a book given as a Sunday School prize to a young girl who travelled on the Sutton/Birmingham City Centre Bus Route in the 1920/30s. Was it hers, or did she chance to pick it up? We shall never know, but it does invite a few questions which we hope to answer here!
