ROYAL VICTORIA PARK
Ha-ha or revetment wall separating the Crescent Gardens from Royal Victoria Park
GV
II
Revetment wall that creates ha-ha between Crescent Gardens and Victoria Park. c1774-77. Wall of squared, coursed limestone rubble approximately 1.5m high and extends approximately 180m from west to east.
HISTORY: the ha-ha, built to keep livestock at a respectful distance from the Crescent while retaining them in the view, is shown on Thomas Malton's engraving of completed Royal Crescent of 1777. The deliberately rough masonry finish was presumably intended to harmonise with the Arcadian character of the pastureland on which it bordered.
