Image of entrance to Beech Walk.  There are four men; two of whom are leaning on the fence; one is leaning on a wooden stump at the entrace and one is sat on a fence.  The caption on the back reads:- "Beech Walk served as a park to the people of Leigh in the days before there were public parks.  It was a popular spot for courting couples and on a Sunday afternoon in summer people would walk down to the Comfortable Gill in Glazebury.  The beech trees were cut down during the First World War, the last one being felled on 13th December, 1918
