Arboretum
Nottingham
England

The four canons erected 1862-63 were designed by M.O. Tarbotton. The temple in the Chinese manner and the four cannons came from Sebastopol. The temple contained a bell taken from the temple near Canton in 1857. This was removed in 1956 for safety reasons. Laid out by Samuel Curtis, the Arboretum covered 17 acres of sloping ground. It is used by the people of Nottingham as a park to enjoy the lake, waterfowl, and aviaries plus beautiful laid out flower beds. Situated in Waverley Street and only a very short walk from the city centre.
