Friends of Astley Street Park

Friends of Astley Street Park Friends of Astley Street Park are a group of volunteers who aim to make the park a beautiful place to enjoy.

This page will not accept Councillor enquiries, please contact them directly. Friends of Astley St Park - Can we make a difference to our local area? After taking part in a survey last year that included local school children visiting the park, carrying out an audit of the facilities, interviewing local residents to get their point of view, designing their ideal park including 3D models, drawing


up plans of their designs to scale, writing letters to the local council * attending Easter Fun Day at Astley Street Park on Easter Monday last year where they showed their viewpoints with Andy Burnham, we now have a good idea about the concerns of local residents and children. We would like to take this further now and apply this knowledge as far as is possible to make feasible improvements with the help of our volunteers and local people.

My little grandniece, Violet found a 'fairy shoe' near the owl & squirrel on Tyldesley Park. (Well that's what she called it) 🄰
Who do you think lost their shoe?
It was part of the hoof of a deer. Possibly the one seen walking through the park a couple of weeks ago but maybe, in the early morning could be a highway from one grazing area to another.

Leigh Chronicle and Weekly District Advertiser 4 April 1868.
For Sale - Valuable building land, occupied by Handel Makinson and others, as meadow land and gardens situate fronting Astley Street.

The Park was in existence before 1902. I should have written 'It was re-opened in 1902'.
Tyldesley Council, desirous of laying out a park, acquired from G. T. B. Ormerod, at a rent of £10, a plot of land in Astley Street. This they extended in 1897 to Well Street by acquisition of an existing lease made in 1786 by Thomas Johnson to James Royle.
