In 1912 Exeter City Council bought the site of the nursery of Lucombe, Pince & Co, and converted it into a pleasure ground. The 45 yard long pergola of mature wisteria was one of the main features of the nursery in the 1880’s and is still the most impressive feature today. The pergola is a very light construction of metal hoops and is reminiscent of the pleached alleys in Tudor gardens. The simple lodge and pavilions are of traditional design and together with the well kept bowling green and croquet lawn give a satisfying feeling to the pleasure ground.
