Historical context
''The Horseshoe has undergone numerous modifications to its landscape design.(...) By 1926, a driveway and footpath split the center axis of The Horseshoe, which was still planted with agricultural crops. Soon thereafter, elaborate entry gates were constructed at The Horseshoe’s intersection with Espina Street, and the footpath to old Hadley Hall became enclosed with dense vegetation forming what was called “Lover’s Lane” By the mid-1950s, the heavy vegetation had been removed and The Horseshoe was again open space, albeit with grass and a few, scattered trees. Tree planting has continued on The Horseshoe to the present day.''
