Entrance to Simmons Park, Okehampton - A Glimpse into the Past
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photograph captures the entrance to Simmons Park in Okehampton, England during the late 19th century. The image, taken by an English photographer whose identity remains unknown, is a testament to the beauty and charm of this historic park. The photo print, now part of a private collection, showcases a grand gateway leading into Simmons Park. The ornate gates stand tall against a backdrop of lush greenery, inviting visitors to explore its wonders within. This snapshot was featured as an illustration in the Photographic View Album of Okehampton and District by M L Sprague around 1900. Simmons Park itself was undoubtedly a popular leisure destination for locals and tourists alike. With its well-maintained playgrounds and civic amenities, it provided a sanctuary for relaxation and recreation amidst bustling urban districts. The monochromatic palette adds an air of nostalgia to the scene while emphasizing intricate details that might have gone unnoticed in color photography. It allows viewers to appreciate the architectural elements with heightened clarity. As we gaze upon this timeless image from early twentieth-century England, we are transported back in time—immersing ourselves in the sights and senses experienced by those who strolled through these very gates over a century ago. It serves as both a reminder of our shared history and an invitation to explore further into Okehampton's rich heritage.
