The beautiful Greater Manchester park full of Victorian charm
As Manchester’s newest park opens to the public this week, it’s worth shining a light on some of the long-standing green spaces our city region has to offer. One of these is the stunning Mesnes Park, located only a few minutes’ walk away from Wigan town centre.
It’s packed full of interesting details - some of which are also Grade II listed - and a recent £6.1million restoration project, funded by the Heritage Lottery, has seen the park being restored to its former Victorian glory. One of the most striking features is The Pavilion, which takes pride of place at the centre of the park.This majestic-looking structure sits on a small mound overlooking the park.
A replica was painstakingly made and the fountain returned to the park once more in 2013. There’s also an ornate bandstand which is located to the west of the pavilion and even has its own power supply for outdoor concerts.
