The name 'Kemp' inscribed on the family gravestone
Mary Anne, Sophia and Edward Kemp's headstone
The grave of the famed Victorian landscape designer and author Edward Kemp in Flaybrick Memorial Gardens, Birkenhead. He was also the first superintendent of Birkenhead Park, the first modern municipal park in England.

The last of my snowy site visits was to Flaybrick Memorial Gardens in the Wirral. A Grade II* Registered Park and Garden, also a Heritage at Risk site, whose designer, Edward Kemp (1817-1891), is also buried here.

Bramham Park, the house from the west, across the snow-covered parterre
The Obelisk Pond and its western cascades in snow from the south
The longest and most rewarding of my site visits in the snow last week was at Bramham Park. In glorious weather, firm snow, and with generous hosting by the owner, it was a truly unforgettable experience in one of England's finest historic designed landscapes.

Another site visit from last week in the snow, on the way back from Liverpool: Eastham Victorian Pleasure Gardens, largely forgotten and mostly overgrown. Despite all, the place survived remarkably well, although needs substantial clearing to be fully appreciated.

Anyone interested in landscape history, or simply appreciating the land around them with more knowledge? Dr Oosthuizen does great threads.

The wonder of newspaper cuttings! This one is a great insight into the moment when in 1951 Brenda Colvin made history by becoming the first woman president of the Institute of Landscape Architects and the Evening Standard reporting it with the title ‘First Woman Chief’ #landscapehistory
