Memories Mystery 3 - Vale Park tree walk

READER Hilary Ludbrook needs your help to solve our latest Memories Mystery...

Hilary, from Bebington, said: "I am desperate to find photos/memories about the "tree walk" which was in Vale Park, New Brighton, in the early/mid 1950s.

"The health and safety would have hysterics about it today- my memories are of (as a child about five or seven) walking through the trees - at a seemigly great height - along a suspended boardwalk.

"There were all kinds of lights in the tree but I especially remember larger-than-life, plastic rabbits and squirrels which lit up in sequence so they looked as though they were hopping along the ground or running up the tree (the squirrels, not the rabbits!)

Wasn't this in the Tower grounds and not Vale park? I was a kid at the time but am sure it was just at the back of the Rakers football ground?

The tree walk WAS in Vale Park definitely 1953/54. I was 'courting' at the time and me and my boyfriend used to go there quite often. It was very pretty and I too remember the animals lighting up in sequence. Can't remember anything else about it though except I think it was free.
