Introduction
Johnson House Gardens are informal gardens of unknown size containing meandering paths and flowering trees. The site was given to the town in 1941.
The informal character of the undulating ground with meandering paths shaded by deciduous and flowering trees, and groups of shrubs giving cover to many garden birds, brings great pleasure to this neighbourhood of terrace housing.
A pious Victorian water trough with the inscription ‘Everyone of us must give account of himself to God' asserts the right of redundant street furniture to a haven in a municipal garden.
