Description: Stamford Park opened in 1873, following a 17 year campaign by local cotton workers; the land was bought from a local mill-owner for £15,000 (£1.05 million as of 2009) and further land was donated by George Grey, 7th Earl of Stamford. A crowd of between 60,000 and 80,000 turned out to see the Earl of Stamford formally open the new facility on 12 July 1873.
