The photo mosaic was unveiled by the Mayor of Poole, Councillor Mrs Xena Dion, together with Geoffrey Smith, General Manager of Rockley Park - our Project Patron.
The public attending the unveiling were entertained by local actor and storyteller Michele O'Brien, in period costume as "Mrs Jennings", the wife of South West Potteries owner, Mr George Jennings, who provided much of the original ornamentation of the Park gates. Historic Park photos were on display and all who attended received a limited edition souvenir postcard.
Cllr Xena Dion, said: “This amazing piece of artwork celebrates Poole’s heritage in a truly distinctive way. Each photo represents a special moment in time for members of our local community both past and present. Together with the symbolic 1890 map of Poole Park, this artwork will be a lovely reminder as to why this park is so special to so many people.”
