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:
“When, said Mr. Phillips, he communicated to a New Bedford audience, the other day, his purpose of writing his life, and telling his name, and the name of his master, and the place he ran from, the murmur ran round the room, and was anxiously whispered by the sons of the Pilgrims, “He had better not!” and it was echoed under the shadow of the Concord monument, “He had better not!””
—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)
