Trumble Gardens
Located in Thornton Heath, Brigstock Road The walls around Trumble Garden give a clue to the history of this garden; they are built of bricks from bomb damaged houses. During the second world war three house in Brigstock Road were badly "Blitzed" and reduced to piles of rubble. The site was acquired by the council in 1947/8 and cleared to make room for ornamental gardens in the built-up area of Thornton Heath. Several individual gardens were laid out including a rose garden and an Italian style garden on the road frontage. Tennis courts were constructed and a children's playground was built. The gardens were ideally situated beside the Brigstock Road where passers-by could see the ornamental gardens with quiet seating areas and the popular tennis courts. The original name of Brigstock Road Gardens was changed to Trumble Gardens after the late Alderman Trumble.
