Heywood Turns to
Cretaceous Times
If you go down to the park today,
you might be in for a dino surprise.
In celebration of the arrival of Dippy - the world-famous Diplodocus dinosaur
cast in Rochdale from the Natural History Museum, a new dino is lurking near
the lake at Queens Park, Heywood - a T-Rex who currently remains nameless.
Although they lived millions of years apart, the borough is going dinosaur crazy
as the Mayor of Rochdale, Councillor Billy Sheerin, along with local councillors
and members from The Friends of Queen’s Park and Heywood in Bloom
officially unveiled the new bog garden on Friday 28 February, which features
the statuesque T-Rex for all to enjoy.
The project has been 12 months in the making with most of the funding
secured was from ‘The Big Life’ with some other smaller donations. It has been
a collaboration by Friends of Queen’s Park and Heywood in Bloom plus labour
by Argos volunteers, with help and support from the Environmental
Management Team at Rochdale Borough Council and the park gardeners.
