it make you go looking just to see how meny unusual finds you can collect from one place?Ive got some more to put up later ? went into the church by park got some cool from there..quite alot s/f round your way? thanks for puting me onto them dude
I'd like a history boff to tell us the history of the park+ how much it was to get in. And when etc Birkenhead park the 1st public park in what? 1859 or something so Ashton may be older than that? Or just an alternative? V.interesting
It is possible that the turnstiles where only used when they where holding tennis tournaments. There are many other entrances to the park that have never had turnstiles since I can remember anyway, only the one which happens to be right where all the tennis courts are situated that Kimpri1 has photographed.
Edit: I was wrong. you did indeed have to pay to enter once(Two thirds of the way down the page).
Back to the green box....New thought. It's a bit unlikely that there would be electricity required in the park. I don't know the geography there but if the box is near the fountain, it could have housed the stop cock for it and maybe irrigation for the plants and grass. Perhaps the pipes out of the sides were for hose connections?
rude, you don't in public parks, so is Ashton private park or privately funded, maybe turn style is another feature?? 
from there..quite alot s/f round your way? thanks for puting me onto them dude
