Lily Pool
Voted most favoured feature for restoration by the people of Whitby during the consultation process.
The
original shelter and Lily Pond were commissioned by the widow and
daughters of Captain Thomas Kirby in his memory. The Lily Pond is
thought to be designed by landscape gardeners Kent and Brydon of
Darlington. The shelter fell into disrepair and was demolished in 1996.
The
aim of the new structure is to depict the finesse and grandeur of
the park. It has open rear and side panels to ensure views through the
shelter and for security. The fountain, rockeries and seating have been
reinstated.
