Description:The Rose Walk, Trentham Gardens, Nr. Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire.
The estate was home and pleasure gardens to the Dukes of Sutherland from the seventeenth to the early twentieth century. The family abandoned the property and the grounds were then opened to the public.
Remembering the Rose Walk
Bernard remembers the Rose Passage from his visits to Trentham Gardens:
"It was green and you would have all sorts of lovely coloured roses. You can still smell them now, and I loved to smell a rose anyway.
"There was a bus that used to take us when we lived in the country. I've always been interested in nature, so I could stand hours looking at the trees, and I loved the autumn colours."
