Background
History
Coronation Gardens was built in 1938 at a cost of £10,000 and named to mark the coronation of George VI . The area occupied by the park had previously consisted of sand dunes and soil had to be imported to create a medium for plants to grow. The design also included a wall to keep out the tide. The park was originally laid out with traditional ornamental flowerbeds and included a circular pathway and a cafe.
