High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Walsall Arboretum is a Victorian public park located very close to Walsall town centre in the West Midlands. Part of the park and surrounding housing are covered by the Arboretum conservation area.Up until the 17th century, the Walsall Arboretum marked part of the southern boundary to Cannock Forest, a royal hunting ground. The land was owned by the Reynold family, and was passed down through a series of marriages. The land was inherited by John Persehouse in 1768. On Richard Persehouse's death, the land was passed down to his godson John Walhouse who started to mine limestone from the area. The limestone mines were recorded as being in the owner ship of Walhouse in 1813. Walhouse died in 1835 and his nephew Edward John Walhouse inherited the estate. Due to the cost of pumping the water out of the limestone pits, mining was discontinued and the pits were allowed to flood. The lakes that were created were then used for boating, fishing and, in Winter months, skating.
