We have a second collection of old pictures of Dorchester's Borough Gardens to share with you.
This popular 'green lung' of Dorchester has some historic features of note, including a bandstand donated as a permanent memorial of Her Majesty Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee and an elaborate clock tower which was given to the town by Charles Hansford in 1905.
These pictures are courtesy of Dorchester Town Council.

The Borough Gardens' fountain It is 16ft high with four seated lions backed by fern leaves supporting a 7'6" diameter basin, a column of three carved birds below a 4' diameter basin above, and an inverted scalloped basin with cherub and cornucopia on a flowered column at the top.
It was donated by Charles Hansford in memory of G.J. Gregory JP, his brother-in-law and five times Mayor of Dorchester, and was officially named the Gregory Memorial Fountain.
Gardeners have always taken great pride in looking after the area
