Faded black and white photograph of formal gardens. The centre of the image is a large, circular grassed island, with four ornamental kidney flower beds around the outside and a one circular one in the middle. This is surrounded by paths, with hillocks and shrubs in the background. There are benches around the outer edge and a man sits on one.

Postcard of East End Park, Leeds 1906

A view of East End Park, Leeds, from a postcard postmarked 1906. It shows the formal flower beds, and a gentleman sitting on a bench.

Do you recognise the view of the park? Do parks still look like this? What plants can you see? What shapes can you see? What do you think the gentleman is thinking? Is he waiting for someone?
