Lordship Recreation Ground Model Traffic Area

It was opened with great ceremony in 1938 by Mr Leslie Burgin, Minister for Transport amid wide press coverage. 800 children clamoured for tickets to ride on one of the 30 model cars or dozen bicycles. Nearly 22,000 bicycles and cars were hired out within a month of the opening.

It used to be used as a road safety training area with road markings,traffic lights, crossings and even a miniature police box. Although
many of the original features are no longer in existence, the model traffic area is still a popular place for young cyclists to play.
