Full Description

Today, under a canopy of trees, Ellington Park serves as ‘urban green space' with only the surviving bandstand and a children's playground.

Ellington Park would have disappeared in urban development had not Ramsgate Corporation bought it for a public park in 1892. Old photographs show a glorious Edwardian park, carefully composed. A carriage drive ran through glades of trees and from a bandstand on a balustraded terrace, steps descended to an ornate fountain. There was an aviary and a pool, where a park-keeper surveyed his territory from a rustic bridge. There were many seats for families enjoying the brilliance of floral displays.
