VICTORIA PARK, BETHNAL GREEN. A plot of pleasure-ground of 290 acres, planted and laid out in the reign of the Sovereign whose name it bears. The first cost of formation was covered by the purchase-money of York House, St. James's, received from the Duke of Sutherland, to whom the remainder of the Crown lease was sold in 1841 for 72,0001. It is bounded on the south by Sir George Ducket's canal, (sometimes called the Lea Union Canal); on the west by the Regent's Canal; on the east by Old Ford-lane, leading from Old Ford to Hackney Wick; and on the north by an irregular line of fields. It serves as a lung for the north-east part of London, and has already added to the health of the inhabitants of Spitalflelds and Bethnal- green. The leases of building ground surrounding the Park have been delayed till the roads and walks become more perfect, and the plantations in a more advanced state.
