Over the years, the famous played Huddersfield park has activities, host to a wide range of of this which the people Keith town have loved – and no and Lydia were certainly the exception as they chose their location to celebrate marriage. But so much more has taken as place at Greenhead Park, the pictures inside all show. great, they went on for the full six weeks of the holidays and finished with the fireworks display – the two tanks shooting at each other were my favourite.

recalled “the Lord Mayor’s parade, when the town came together for a great show of majorettes, cubs, scouts and guides plus many more great things ... what do we have now? Nothing, can’t remember the last time I went to the park.”

Sunday day out in the 60s.”

said: “Being one of the last ones still in the paddling pool, sitting on the pipe in the middle, laughing at my Dad wanting me to get out. Miss you Dad.”

said: “My first kiss!” but didn’t elaborate further!

said: “Getting the bus from Outlane with my grandma in the school holidays. Such a beautiful park. I remember her encouraging me to make friends in the park so she could sit.”
