She was involved in a plan to revive the gardens in contemporary form, but the scheme didn't get off the ground in spite of some good promises of corporate sponsorship. More recently someone set up a tethered hot-air balloon there, so people could go on balloon ascents again, but that too has now gone.Philip Wilkinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04893714514416441572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5022318990784415929.post-69620267592095271302012-05-21T12:13:36.175-04:002012-05-21T12:13:36.175-04:00Thank you so much for the link to the model.

It included a visit to what remains of Vauxhall garden in London, a rather non-descript grassy patch by a railway line. Then, as a treat, he visited a London Museum that held in its collection a scale model of the gardens recreated from illustrations. It was an instructive documentary, although I could not tell you what museum it was from my memory.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
