In its heyday
The Paddocks Tea Gardens – besides being a tea garden, many games were on offer including Cricket, Football, Tennis, Croquet, Bowls and Quoits.
The Paddocks covered 40 acres and included a miniature farm for children and stabling for horses.
The row of trees in the background formed the boundary of the new Mile Oak. They were to be the end of the back gardens of the bungalow in Stanley Avenue.
The farm animals with the Tea Gardens behind. Apparently very popular considering the number of people enjoying afternoon tea.
Children enjoying the Paddocks and the open air. It is understood that tobogganing was carried out on this slope.
