Primrose Hill Park, Regent's Park, and Hampstead Heath

A collection of letters and proposals urging the government to secure neighboring plots to enlarge urban open space for public recreation, arguing that about eighteen acres should be acquired to relieve overcrowding for football and cricket and to prevent imminent building. The material advocates a park-like carriage and equestrian route from Portland Place through Regent’s Park to Hampstead Heath, compares the scheme to Parisian improvements, and stresses public health, youth recreation, aesthetic advantages, and practical financial considerations while documenting correspondence with government officials and recommended actions.
