Plan of Puckpool Park with details of military installation
Puckpool Park, between Ryde and Seaview, Isle of Wight, was originally within the grounds of Puckpool House, a Swiss style cottage orné built in 1822.
The estate was purchased by the War Department in the mid 1861 in order to build a Battery (HMS Medina).
Later, the site was split between the Battery, which became a public park in the late 1920s after being purchased by St Helens Urban District Council, and the house and grounds, which became Warners Puckpool Holiday Camp in 1939.
In the 1950/60's the park included an indoor aquarium and an aviary.
