FOR this week's pictures we delved into the packet marked Darlington's South Park in the Northern Echo archives.
South Park is the oldest municipal park in the North-East, and the third oldest in the north – only Sheffield (opened 1841) and Liverpool (1842) had local authority run parks before South Park was created in the mid 1850s.
