Park in pictures: 26 photo memories showing the life and times of Leyland's Worden Hall and Park

Worden Hall and park has long been considered a jewel in Leyland’s crown.

We’ve taken a walk through the grounds of yesteryear to bring you archive pictures showing how the beautiful grounds of this once grand manor house evolved through more recent times. The old hall itself was victim of a devastating fire in 1951 and much of the burnt-out shell was later demolished, leaving only older Derby Wing intact. Worden Park is a popular place to visit for many in the area and we hope our potted history will open your eyes further. READ MORE: Leyland in the 80s and 90s.
