“LOCKED OUT”
Queen Mary’s Experience
Queen Mary tried recently to visit a garden laid down in memory of King George V. Tbeigate was locked. The garden is in historic Canons Park, near Edgware. Middlesex. Harrow Urban District Council dedicated it to King Geirge V. With thousands of tulips forming great pools of colour, it is a wonderful sight, but the only glimpse the visitor can get. of it is through an iron gate which the council ig not allowed to open. When it was proposed to build the garden, residents of Canons Drive objected to a public entrance near their homes.
The question was submitted to arbitration, and they won. The only approach to the garden from Canons Drive is through a private carirageway leading to Canons, a white-fronted mansion.
Queen Mary, arriving for her visit, left her car and walked up the car-riage-drive until she met some children, of whom she asked the way. But when she saw the rough nature of the ground which had to be crossed, she returned to her car.
The chauffeur tried the gate to the garden, which be found was locked. Queen Mary then drove back to London.
