Introduction
Moorfield Gardens was a public pleasure grounds to the rear of Moorfield Cottages. The Sale Hotel was a later addition to the site. The gardens were not popular with the local residents and were closed at the turn of the century after the refusal to renew the liquor licence. The site is now lost, and the area has been built over.
