Concord Park is a large park in the North of Sheffield, England, between Shiregreen and Wincobank.
The park consists of Concord Park Golf Course, a country park and Woolley Woods, bordered by Ecclesfield Road.
A historic cruck barn lies at the entrance to the park, the last remnant of the Mediaeval hamlet of Oaksfold.
Famous quotes containing the words concord and/or park:
“Certainly there is not the fight recorded in Concord history, at least, if in the history of America, that will bear a moment’s comparison with this, whether for the numbers engaged in it, or for the patriotism and heroism displayed.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Linnæus, setting out for Lapland, surveys his “comb” and “spare shirt,” “leathern breeches” and “gauze cap to keep off gnats,” with as much complacency as Bonaparte a park of artillery for the Russian campaign. The quiet bravery of the man is admirable.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
