BROCKWELL PARK.
This Park, to which the public had been admitted since its first
acquisition, was formally opened on Whit-Monday, the 6th June,
1892, by the Karl of Rosebery, formerly Chairman of the London
County Council. The success of the opening ceremony was
unhappily seriously marred by the sudden and untimely death
of T. Lynn Bristowe, Esq, M.P. for Norwood, who, by his
generous efforts, had been mainly instrumental in securing Brockwell
Park for the people of South London. Mr. Bristowe, after
taking part in the opening ceremony, was suddenly taken ill and
expired on the ground.
