The 4 acre garden was first created by Robert Wood Williamson by the mid-19th-century. Along with The Croft (house), the garden was sold to Alderman Fletcher Moss in 1912. He in turn donated the estate to Manchester Corporation in 1919. Manchester City Council have retained a number of the original features as well as enlarging and enhancing the park.
