Tourist Guide

Entering the park from Cranbrook Road in the north, walking towards the ornamental pond. Photo taken November 2009. Owner: London Borough of Redbridge.
Valentines Park - upper lake Looking at the false bridge by the entrance to Valentines Park near Gants Hill, from the first bridge over the lake.
Cranbrook: Valentines Park clock tower This view was taken looking across the boating lake in Valentines Park towards the clock tower, which was built in 1899 on the opening of the park. A plaque on the clock tower commemorates that it was presented by W. P. Griggs Esq. At its opening the park was known as Cranbrook Park, as witnessed by the plaque, but the name was changed in 1907 to register its association with the nearby Valentines Mansion.
