During their heyday in the mid-eighteenth century the pleasure
gardens were one of the hubs of polite society. Laid out with
formal gardens and buildings for dining and amusement, the pleasure
gardens were the scene of upper class exercise and entertainment.
Most famous were Vauxhall Gardens, Cremorne Gardens and Ranelagh
Gardens. In Bath, Sydney Gardens is the only English pleasure
garden that has not since been closed and built over. This book
tells the story of the pleasure gardens, explaining their
beginnings in the seventeenth century, their rising social
importance, the variety of entertainment contained within, and
their eventual decline into seedy hangouts for gamblers, thieves
and prostitutes.
