Today's walk from the library started at the park folly, this was a Victorian feature built for the Newall family in 1856. Originally powered by water piped to the water wheel it is a grade 2 listed monument.

From there we moved on to the bandstand which was presented to the Council on the June 1902 day set for the Coronation of Edward VII and his wife Alexandra but due to an abscess of the abdominal wall he was operated on in the Music room of Buckingham Palace and was not crowned until August that year. The King was insistent that Regional celebrations should go ahead as planned. Due to the postponement there were many "Coronation cases" in the courts which set an important precedent in the English common law of contract.

From there we passed by the large Redwood tree in the Southern corner of the park and went to the drinking fountain donated by Littleborough Co-Operative Society. The fountain was taken out of use in the 1960's due to its lead piping..
