==History==
In feudal times parishioners used the area to graze animals and cut turf and timber for fuel. In the 19th century when material for road building became a valuable resource, the old grazing land was replaced by a series of pits for gravel extraction. By 1887 the site had become an eyesore and the borough proposed a public garden "that the view from the river shall be a pleasant one and not, as at present, unsightly and obnoxious". The gardens were designed by the borough surveyor Henry Macaulay and opened in 1890.〔(Thames Landscape Strategy The Local Landscape 98 )〕 Kingston Power Station was built on the ground behind which had formerly been used to convert raw sewage to garden fertlizer. Landscaping work in the 1980s restored the gardens and after the demolition of the power stations, flats were built on its site.
