Evington Gardens originally intended to have been laid out as private gardens by owners of adjacent houses planned in 1852 and 1877 but this probably was never done.
Sunken gardens and Marrams to north planned as similar but purchased by council and made into public gardens from 1910 to 1939.
Whole area constructed as public gardens between 1953 to 1957 from the Rehabilitation Fund.
