Ranelagh Gardens, Liverpool

Ranelegh Gardens was the first open space for public recreation to be created in Liverpool, Merseyside, England.

It was opened in 1722 and was modelled on Ranelagh Gardens in Chelsea, which was at that time just outside London.

It contained a formal flower garden, and a number of separate areas for the visitors to meet and socialise.

Refreshments were available, and in the centre of the gardens was a fishpond containing carp, tench, and other fish.
