The Award winning Crescent Gardens in Frinton-on-sea is a beautiful place to walk round and admire. Original Red Hen grew up in this area and placed the original cache here. I am placing this replacement as a tribute to her.
There is no historical information regarding the construction of the Crescent Gardens, however the outline of the Crescent Gardens actually appears on an 1899 plan of Frinton on Sea.
It is known that in 1911 a plot in The Crescent was bought by the Council for a public garden and photographic evidence shows they were well established in 1935.
The name is derived from The Crescent which divides around the gardens at its junction with the Esplanade. There are several mature trees, well maintained gardens and a sculpture to enjoy. The surrounding roads produced an array of massive conker trees, that covered the roads and paths in Autumn with their leaves and beautiful shiny brown conkers to bake hard and pierce through, to make a strong opponent for those belonging to Original Red Hen's friends at school.
Now it is a lovely place to visit, with good views nearby. No need to go off the path to retrieve this cache.
