My original post on White Hart Lane appears here. My colleague Robert Freestone has supplied some photographs he took of the internal spaces in 2002 (though the hand-coloured appearance of the middle picture in particular suggests something more like 1902). It appears that the space actually has locked gates and so is not accessible to the general public, a factor which may disqualify it for true Internal Reserve status. Any confirmation or further information would be welcome.
A record of field trips and other explorations of a particular urban design element - the internal reserve - a 'pocket park' surrounded on all sides by residential housing but accessible by pedestrian pathways from the street. They are exclusive, secluded, sometimes neglected, sometimes celebrated, suburban spaces. This blog welcomes contributions: comments, images, memorabilia. Please email nicholsd@unimelb.edu.au
