3.10. Landmarks, views, green spaces and trees3.10.1 Although Padiham is surrounded by picturesque hills and open countryside much ofthe town is made up of dense terraced housing and industrial buildings that do not give wayto landscaping, trees and large gardens. However, the town does contain a number of greenarteries, including watercourses, parks and a disused railway corridor.3.10.2 At the turn of the 20th century, the PUDC tried to secure the development of a parkon the Banks, an area stretching from the top of the town to the river. Land for the park wasobtained in 1921 from the Gawthorpe and Huntroyde estates, the trustees of the UnitarianChapel and from Mr Edward Drew who was selling the Knight Hill Estate. Memorial Park,dedicated to those men from Padiham who died during the First World War, was finally openedon 18th June 1921 on this site (Haines & Jones, 1994, p.31).3.10.3 Knight Hill House was built in the 1860s for Dr Booth, Padiham’s Medical Officer ofHealth from 1858 to 1885. The house and grounds were later bought by PUDC to form part ofthe new Memorial Park in 1921and the house was occupied by the park keeper with part of itbeing a museum. It is now owned by Age Concern and used as a day centre (Plan A).3.10.4 Within the park, close to the entrance between Knight HillHouse and the Unitarian Church, is a war memorial made fromred granite with accompanying gardens (Plan A). Money for thiscenotaph was raised by a private subscription and organised bythe Padiham Women’s Memorial Committee. The Hon. Rachel KayShuttleworth, whose own brothers died during the war, unveiled it inOctober 1921 (Haines & Jones, 1994, p.31).Padiham War Memorial3.10.5 Not only was the park used for exercise and recreation, butas a place to sit and listen to bands play. Although the bandstandno longer remains the park continues to be popular and won aprestigious Green Flag award in 2005/06.View of Padiham taken from Shuttleworth Street.30 heritage appraisal
