Description
The Council submitted a Round 2 Bid to the National Lottery Heritage Fund for a project at Cranford Park and had this Bid accepted in June 2020. The Council now seeks to commission a Monitoring and Evaluation Consultant to carry out the work required in connection with this project, as it goes through the five years of the Delivery Stage.
The project is being funded by the Parks for People Programme (Lottery Heritage Fund/ Community Fund), and the London Borough of Hillingdon, and the Council is supported in this Bid by the Cranford Park Friends.
2. Background to the Project
2.1 Location and History
Cranford Park, L.B. Hillingdon, is a country park of some 144 acres (58 ha), bounded by the A312 and the boundary with L.B. Hounslow to the east, Crane Meadows to the west and Cranford Lane and the outskirts of Heathrow Airport to the south. To the north, the M4 severs the park, the 8 ha. to the north of the motorway being bounded by North Hyde Gardens and the eastern edge of the Hayes Housing Zone. The two sections of the park are linked via two pedestrian subways.
Cranford Park was a country seat of the Berkeley Family for 300 years. It was not re-occupied after 1918, and sold to Hayes and Harlington Urban District Council in 1932. The great house was demolished in 1945, although the cellars and stables, ice house, ha-ha, garden walls and meadows have largely survived, with the buildings now listed. The estate was opened as a public park in 1949, though some of the northern part of the park was lost when the M4 motorway was built in the early 1960's. The River Crane corridor, ancient woodland and meadows are rich in wildlife
