TQ1673 : In York House Gardens

York House is the municipal office of the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames. The central part dates from the 1630s and takes its name from the Yorke family, owners of farmland in the area. The gardens at the rear seen here are bisected by Riverside but run to the River Thames and are open to the public, with the sunken lawn sometimes used for open-air theatre in the summer. A stone footbridge connects the two halves of the gardens. See also https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3567808 and http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/5815078
