One hesitates to suggest that the town centre jewellers ganged up on the corporation to get rid of it in an effort to boost the sale of watches.

The picture is, of course, Bitterne Park Triangle, before the wonderful gift from Henrietta Bellenden Sayers arrived.

Bitterne DOES NOT have a triangle, it has many things, but definitely NOT a triangle.

It is NOT called "Bitterne Triangle", the Triangle is in BITTERNE PARK. If I haven't made things any clearer for you, I suggest you try google maps, or the bitternepark.info website.

I'm sure this is how they named areas.
Millbrook Green Park estate seems to have lost the green park bit of it's name & the original Millbrook is quickly disappearing into Freemantle,Tannersbr
ook & Regents Park or in it's old version the Park of the Regent

Originally, the National Liberal Land Co, purchased the land on which Bitterne Park was to be built from, I believe, the Church Commissioners, although there is some mention of the Earl of Eldon, and the Bitterne Manor Estate.

As for pod's comment: yes, I shop regularly at the local shops, and would urge others to do so, rather than lining the pockets of the major supermarkets!
