House & Garden’s 
(Left) At the end of the lower ter¬ 
race in Mr. Prince Smith’s garden 
at Whinburn, Keighley, lies this 
pool. White Valerian grows in 
the dry bank, but nothing breaks 
the calm surface of the water 
save two sparse clumps of reeds. 
Designed by Mr. O. Maxwell 
Ayrton 
The water parterre which runs the 
entire length of the centre terrace 
at Whinburn, Keighley, is of un¬ 
usual and interesting design. Iris 
reeds grow within its narrow bor¬ 
ders, and foxgloves hide the top of 
the dry built-in wall of the terrace 
(Above) The water-garden at 
Bridge House, Weybridge, the resi¬ 
dence of Mrs. Trower, is a canal 
ending in an Italian tea-house 
flanked with creeper-clad columns. 
Water-lilies, kept well within 
bounds, enrich the reflections in its 
clear depths. Designed by Mr. 
Harold Peto
