Roller skating in the Octagon in the 60s Also the opera house was a cinema at that time 😊

Hi Leo, very interesting history and again I very much appreciated the map overlays and original drawings and photos.
I feel a visit to the park is must for me this year and I particularly like the architecture of the opera house and would like to see more of it.
I’m pleased to report that my walk around the Chatsworth Estate was excellent, we were very lucky with the weather too, which is always a bonus.
Thank you for sharing another excellent video in this interesting series. Best wishes to you and your family.

That's brilliant to hear, certainly with the weather being so naff this year. :)
