HISTORY: Williamson Park was laid out on the site of disused quarries and moorland. Some development began during the Cotton Famine of the 1860s, but large-scale development only began during the 1870s when James Williamson (Senior) paid to have the landscape developed to the designs of Mr Maclean of Castle Donnington. James Williamson (Junior) handed the park over to Lancaster Corporation in 1881. (Ashworth, S: The Lino King: York: 1989-).
