Public Accommodation

The Gardens were developed by the St.Anne's-on-the-Sea Public Accommodation Company, formed about 1876. Most of the shareholders were shareholders in the St.Anne's Land & Building Company.

The Public Accommodation Company planned initially to construct a skating rink, croquet grounds, archery grounds, bowling green, shrubberies, fruit gardens, Italian gardens and entrance lodges.

Future plans included billiard rooms, a concert hall and conservatory.
