How many buildings within Victorian parks in England and Wales have received heritage lottery grants in 2004, 2005 and 2006. [HL3391]
Since 1994, the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) has awarded a total of over £440 million to historic public parks. Fifty-two public parks in England and Wales received HLF grants in 2004-05, and 36 in 2005-06. The HLF does not separately record the buildings that form part of the public parks projects it funds, but many include work to buildings within the park, including houses, cafés, bandstands and other buildings. The HLF does not classify the public parks that it funds by historic period. Information is not yet available for financial year 2006-07.
