Introduction
Albert Park is a public park bounded by Great Clowes Street, Great Cheetham Street, Grecian Street and Vavasour Street. The land was originally flat, but was landscaped and given an undulating appearance with an ornamental lake. The park was laid out by Mr Henry Moore, the head gardener at Peel Park. By 1895 the park had two central lakes, both with islands arranged either side of an axial walk.
