Chesterfield residents are being invited to share their special memories of Eastwood Park in Hasland, as part of a project to create a magnificent feature archway.



Chesterfield Borough Council is currently overseeing a complete restoration of the Park after it secured a grant of £1.07m from the Heritage Lottery Fund and Big Lottery Fund.

David Mayne, the artist of the special metal archway, is holding a 'Memory Day' so people can come and share their special memories of what they've seen, enjoyed and experienced at Eastwood Park.  He is also keen to see any photographs that people may have of the Park.

David said: "I hope to speak to a good cross section of the public to get a wide range of memories that will hopefully inspire me to incorporate their thoughts into the final design of the archway."

The event takes place at Eastwood Park Village Hall, Hasland, Chesterfield S41 0AY on Wednesday 26th September between 2 - 7pm.  For more information contact Mark Shewring, on 01246 345792 or by email at mark.shewring@chesterfield.gov.uk
