War Memoiral Park
THE top image shows a procession through War Memorial Park during Basingstoke Carnival in the 1960s.
War Memorial Park has always provided a congenial arena for larger-scale local events including the much-loved annual carnival, firework displays, music festivals and ballooning and, currently, the location for the start and end of the Basingstoke Half Marathon, among a number of other events.
