Taken about 8.00 a.m. with the bandstand of 1884 to the left ( www.historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1388688 ), a late C19 cast-iron shelter to the right ( www.historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1388690 ), and the crossing tower of the cathedral in the background. The arboretum itself was designed and laid out by Edward Milner (1819-84) in 1870-2 and opened in 1872, following an act of 1870 which had enabled Lincoln Corporation to purchase Monks Ley Common, part of which was sold for housing to finance the creation of public gardens: www.historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1000985 .
