Bury's Pyramids
A friend sent me this interesting photo of grass pyramids in a Bury Park. Note the Capstones on the top of the pyramids. I'm planning a field trip up to Bury for material to use in future videos. Looks like this will be a good starting point. Thanks to Drew for this pic.
I live in bury and grew up on this park but i donT think this place really exist anymore, its a carpark i think, if not, it will be soon!? but yea, i'd never noticed the connection before, until i found this picture while looking through bury image bank. The town hall over looking the pryamids and the reflecting pool, hmmmmmm! Just to think aswel the other buildings surrounding this park were the bury times newspaper!(media) The college!(education) Running track (olympics) bury market (trade) there is a clock tower in the background next to the town hall too! need anymore info john.scann311@hotmail.co.uk
ReplyDeleteI've always suspected something sinister... Pyramids/triangles and Bury date back to the 1800's architecture.
ReplyDeleteKay Gardens - former indoor market was triangular and faced the Athenaeum house/town hall.
The new Rock has a "triangle"...
Pyramid park and the pyramids still exist, in a poor state... so I've been told. I left Bury in the early 90's.
A bit more for you. i dont know if its still there but there is or was a metal pyramid with the all seeing eye on top placed on the roof of the new outdoor market
ReplyDeleteif you search youtube for bury lancashire town centre stop the video at 4.51 and you can see it just to the right of the tree
or search blackpuddings bury market and the rock and stop the video at 0.49
Pyramid Park was a derelict railway goods yard left after the demolition of Bury Knowsley Street Station. The planners transformed it into a green area with the rubble turned into pyramids and lots of greenery plus a lake a fountain and a statue of Nimrod. The park was rarely used except by vandals and fell into disuse. Its overgrown remains are still there.
