Paddington, Reservoir Gardens
One of the entrances to the Paddington Reservoir Gardens, in the inner city suburb of Paddington. This former underground reservoir was renovated in 2009 to create an urban sanctuary with lawns, flower beds, shaded seating and a fish pond.
Well now here's another visit to make on my next trip over Jim.
ReplyDeleteA sanctuary often sounds wonderful!
ReplyDeleteVery interesting. Not very welcoming entrance, but I guess that was the plan when it was a reservoir? The idea of the lawns, flower beds, shaded seating, and fish pond sounds quite beautiful, though.
ReplyDeletethe sign was hard for me to find with all the same metal, kinda defeats the purpose, eh?
ReplyDeleteI think they're intended to be more decorative than functional.
Deletei love the sign.
ReplyDeleteThey seem to have it well protected with so many fences. Interesting sight.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful sign "finely wrought"!
ReplyDeleteI love the sign in the metal fence - very nice!
ReplyDeleteI like the fence - though it is a little hard to read.
ReplyDeleteThe last week or so you have posted a string of iconic structures. You are on a roll!
ReplyDeleteLove this area, a creative use of the old space.
ReplyDeleteSo many bars. I'll take the Edwardian or Victorian architecture any day.
