Introduction
Telegraph Hill Park is in two parts, an upper park in the south, and a lower park in the north, divided by Kitto Road. It incorporates the site of one of the Admiralty's 18th-century semaphore stations, which was in use until 1815, from which the park gets its name. The park has continued to develop and was recently restored through a grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund.
