Apart from lunch at the Tudor Barn with my parents a couple of weeks ago, I hadn’t been into Well Hall Pleasaunce for quite a while. Of course, being on the main road into Eltham, I go passed it fairly regularly, but before this afternoon I hadn’t had occasion to go into or through the pretty little park for months. It used to be that, being about four hundred years old, the paths around the park were flagged, uneven and broken up with steps. Thus, as pleasant as it is, I tended to avoid it. Today, though, on my way home with John after buying a new manual wheelchair, we chose to break up our walk by going through the Pleasaunce. At first I wasn’t sure about the idea because of all the steps, but to my amazement as soon as we went in I saw it had been entirely flattened: the steps had either been converted into ramps, or nice new paths lead around them so that I could easily go from one level to another. I was very impressed: a lot of work had obviously recently been done to make sure a wheelchair user like myself could access all of the park. I must admit that I find the fact that the council would carry out such a renovation on such a little place very encouraging.
