Micro-park network & arts trail

Parks and Sculptures - Inspired By You!

The Manor Royal BID has secured funding to design and build a series of improved outdoor spaces for the benefit of employees and visitors. Perfect for an outdoor meeting, catching up with friends or just to take a break from a hectic day.

Eventually these areas will form a connected network with other parks areas celebrating the story of Manor Royal in different ways, so that no one is more than a five minute walk from decent outdoor space, that is interesting, evocative and inspired by you.  

The stories and history of Manor Royal will be used by artists to help design each park area using details of the products, places and people that have made and make Manor Royal what it is.

 

New Linear Park and Lost Woodland Gallery

The Manor Royal BID is working with sculptor Andrew Mckeown and Allen Scott Landscape Architects to transform Woolborough Lane into a linear park and enhance Crawter’s Brook by creating a “Lost Woodland Gallery”, inspired by Manor Royal’s unique history, industry and your ideas about the business district and its future. 

Send us your stories, poems, memories or pictures that celebrate Manor Royal’s heritage, industry and people.

You don’t have to be artist. It could be as simple as sharing evocative words, occupation or old company names, things that were made here or just simple phrases that come to mind when you think of Manor Royal.

You could inspire a sculpture. You could draw something or share a photo that might inspire a sculpture for the “Lost Woodland Gallery”.
