All the undergrowth from below the Broad Walk has been cleared:
making it much more airy and transparent!

"The Broad Walk forms the main axis of the park: an avenue of magnificent lime trees marks its southern edge.
It is an impressive walkway constructed in 1863-64 by unemployed weavers during the cotton famine.
Here on Sundays, 'crowds of young men and maidens would walk four or five abreast, promenading from end to end
between 3 o'clock and 4.30' (Blackburn Times, 1936)."
