The Pavilion Gardens, Buxton, Derbyshire, England
One of a range of photochroms c1895
With the arrival of the railway in 1863, the Seventh Duke of Devonshire suggested that private citizens should put money into a Company to improve amenities in Buxton. The Duke donated nine acres of “excellent garden ground” (eventually extended to the present 23 acres by later ducal gifts), to be held in perpetuity on condition they were used exclusively for the purposes of such gardens and pleasure grounds. Edward Milner, the eminent landscape gardener, was appointed and the gardens opened on 11th May 1871, to be followed in August by the opening of the Pavilion.
