Tom Benson Stone, Moor Park Unfortunately the stone seems to have lost its plaque but it is here to commemorate the achievements of Tom Benson, a long-distance walker. Benson was a local man who set a world record in 1986 by walking 415 miles non-stop around Moor Park. He did this when he was in his fifties.

Moor Park High pressure conditions have created a bleak grey day in Preston, with no sign of the sun at all, but there is still some autumn colour in Moor Park at the end of November.

Jeremiah Horrocks Observatory, Moor Park This observatory in the north-west part of Moor Park was designed by George James Gibbs, at the time the honorary curator of Preston Municipal Observatory, and officially opened in 1927 to coincide with a total eclipse of the sun. It was named after Jeremiah Horrocks, a 17th century English astronomer who was the first person to show that the Moon orbited around the Earth in an elliptical pattern. Today the building belongs to the University of Central Lancashire although light pollution prevents it from being used for serious astronomy.

Tennis court in Moor Park This public tennis court has been fitted with a vandal-proof and weather-resistant steel net. We are unlikely to see these at Wimbledon anytime soon, but in a location like this it makes a great deal of sense. Beyond the court is the Jeremiah Horrocks Observatory.

Moor Park This view shows the path round the northern side of the park. Moor Park was created when Preston Council enclosed 100 acres of Preston Moor making it the first municipal park in the new industrial towns of north-west England. Improvements were carried out between 1862 and 1865 by garden designer Edward Milner using the labour of unemployed cotton workers.
