Rectory Park

Rectory Park was used with some frequency by me, but not for many years now as the Hospital staff (and visitors)
use the bloody place as a car park to avoid hospital charges and the park users cannot get in!! Still that way in 2016 and 2019!!

This used to be a pathway into the football pitches, the church decided it didnt want people walking down their path to get there!
Very christian of them, so they locked the gate.
