Summary
| Description |
Memorial to James Chance, a partner in the massive Chance glass works in Smethwick and Oldbury. James Chance purchased the land for the park, which opened in 1895. This photo is a bit distorted because the monument is caged behind railings and to get this shot I had to take 6 shots between narrow railings and then try to stitch them together. Beneath the bust is a plaque reading: James T. Chance M.A J.P. D.L. For fifty years a partner in the firm of Chance Brothers & Co. at the Glass Works Smethwick and the Alkali Works, Oldbury He purchased the land for the park, laid it out and endowed it and on September 7th 1895 opened it A gift to the public for ever. He also made the roads on its East and West boundaries. |
