Introduction
A bust of Sir Henry Tate was erected by public subscription and the garden was laid out with raised flower beds and surrounded with railings. In 1937 a small area was taken for road widening and in 1965-66 it was re-landscaped. A new public square was created on adjacent land in 1998, named Windrush Square. In 2009/10 the area incorporating both spaces was redesigned to create one open space as part of Brixton Town Centre Masterplan, with new planting, lighting and seating.
