Mono Monday . . . Openings
These are the gates to Isel Park in Stoke. In the nearly four years I have been visiting them only one gate has ever been open. The white card on the gate is the QR code for Covid tracing. I have the app and hold the phone up to the code and it records my visit. It is becoming a habit to do this everywhere I go.
The original owner was Thomas Marsden a watchmaker from Cumbria, England. He and his wife arrived in Nelson in December 1842. By 1849 he started building a house and planning the park. He planted most of the older trees, which are now over 100 years old. It is a lovely park to wander in any season.
