I have another query about the letter.
The writer states –
The writer states –
“I have refused to go to the Strawberry garden,…”
The fact that the garden was close enough to walk to, or she could have taken a coach suggests that the garden was not part of the land around the house.
Might these be Liverpool’s famous strawberry fields?
Or were they a 20th century invention by the Beatles?
Thanks
Cliff
not sure if you have previously covered this as I have just found this site. Jem Mace the famous bare knuckle world champion opened a pleaseure park called Strawberry Gardens at West Derby, Hygeeia St,in 1866. He also built a Strawberry hotel there. He based the idea on Cremourne Gardens in London. the site was formerly wasteland known locally as Srawberry Bank or Strawberry Grounds with a pub on it called the Strawberry Tavern.
