Here I am in another part of Jepshon Gardens. Behind me is the Davis Clock Tower. It was built in 1925 and named after William Davis who was mayor of Leamington three times. The park was originally called Newbold Gardens in 1834, it became Jepshon Gardens twelve years later. They seem to like changing names in this town. I'm not sure what the metal pillars are for, maybe somebody put them here ready for small visiting dragons as a handy place to pose for a photo. In the gardens there are a number of memorials, one of these is for Dr Henry Jepshon. He was a local doctor who promoted the spa waters. Apparently an album by Ocean Colour Scene features the Jepshon Memorial on the front. Not sure what the connection is.
