Brief description of site
The site was originally parkland belonging to East Cliff Lodge, the home until 1885 of philanthropist Sir Moses Montefiore. The land was bought in 1946 by the borough council and renamed the King George VI Memorial Park. The house was demolished in 1954. The park features a 19th-century Italianate greenhouse which has recently benefited from a £100,000 restoration project.
