            The Postcard

A postally unused postcard that was published by Overland Views, Postcard Specialists, of Tintagel. The image is a glossy real photograph, and the card has a divided back.

Vale Park Aylesbury

Vale Park is Aylesbury’s main central park. It has a contemporary feel, with beautiful trees and striking flower beds. There is ample seating throughout the park, and hard-surfaced paths link to all facilities. It is an ideal location for informal games and picnics.

The design of Vale Park was originally drawn up by Thomas Mawson and Son, but the scheme was never implemented. Instead a design drawn up by the Borough Council Engineer, William Harold Taylor, probably influenced and possibly guided by Mawson, was eventually built. 

The park was formally opened in 1937.

In 2008, Aylesbury Vale District Council, who are responsible for the management of the park, won a prestigious Green Flag Award for the very first time for it. 

The award is the equivalent of the blue flag for coastal resorts, and it recognises excellence in parks and open spaces.
