Title: Alexandra Park Hastings, Gardeners
Post by: Jaguare on Sunday 31 August 14 21:30 BST (UK)

Hi, I wonder if anyone can tell me where I might find out about gardeners that worked in Alexandra Park Hastings?  I have been told that a relative was a head gardener there and wondered if its possible to confirm this.  It would have been sometime between 1930 and 1956.  Thanks in advance.

Hi, perhaps the local council may have kept employment records

Here is a link to some information......
