Plain Talker Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 I lived there in the Sixties, overlooking the Dog Track...I used to go in the "Park Gardeners Club" in the main courtyard, and I remember it being opened by the Queen Mum and She had to sign in while the Doorman saluted and stood to attention....Is the Club still there??? the PG club was rebuilt in the 1990s, opposite St John's Church, near the junction od cricket-inn Road and Bernard road. This is at least the third incarnation of the PGC, as there was a PGC on the "old" park district, in the maze of back-to-back housing. Then the second (iirc) incarnation was on the largest block at Hyde park flats. This one was lost in the 90s when HPF was partially demolished, and the latest model was built, near the church.
