Mostyn Gardens, Merton

Introduction

The rectangular sunken garden was in place by the early-1950s, within a formal layout out of paths and by this time there was a putting green in the south east corner, more tennis courts and a playing field on the site of the allotments. Shelters, toilets and a drinking fountain were also provided. Today it is largely open grassland, the sunken rose garden a reminder of the site's past use.
