About this book
Cremorne and the Later London Gardens is by Warwick Wroth. The preface says the open-air resorts described in the volume lack the romantic associations of the classic pleasure-gardens of the eighteenth century. The preface adds that, if these places are undeserving of the detailed treatment accorded to their prototypes, they may claim at least a brief and modest chronicle. The list of parts includes, among others, the Surrey Zoological Gardens and a List of Minor London Gardens, Nineteenth Century.
The text says the Eagle reopened in the spring of 1832 with many of the attractions that long continued to characterize it. An orchestra of Oriental type, variously described as Moorish or Chinese, stood in the garden, and dancing took place generally once a week in the Grecian tent or in the assembly-room.
