[edit] Summary

Richard Hartland Vertegans, Victorian landscape designer, who designed West Park Wolverhampton (UK) and was commissioned by Handsworth Sanitary Board in the 1880s to draft a lay-out for a park on the Grove Estate which became the basis for Handsworth Park, Handsworth, Birmingham (UK). Vertegans had a liking for garden landscapes which were not immediately apparent but revealed themselves to the visiting walker as a series of often unexpected vistas contrasting with those previously seen. This formula was contrary to ideal park design as understood for a while in Birmingham and possibly other cities during the 1980s and 1990s where, primarily for reasons of security an "ideal" park was one in which someone standing at any point in a park could see someone standing in any other part of that park.Sibadd 12:59, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
