Totally unrelated fun story.

Recently I learned that the park nearest where my parents lived was named after a Mr Park, hence the name of the park, 'Park Gardens'.

It contains a war memorial, albeit with Mr Park's name on it, albeit his son. WW1 for you.

Up until 1920 the park was pasture, then Mr Park bought it and it was landscaped very nicely. Since then it has been a well maintained park and actively used.

For housing it would make a very good earner for the council, due to its location. As a data centre though? Only lots of bribery and tear gas would get that approved.

Once upon a time the park was just a farmer's field, for pasture. Nowadays it is proudly owned by the town and more than just land.

As for the story that 'land' might just be land, but, in time, it could have been another wonderful 'Park Gardens'.
