Ireland's Pleasure Gardens Also known as the Royal Gardens. Laid out and opened by James Ireland in 1823, with an aviary, a maze, a lake and a cricket ground. In 1832 Ireland sold the gardens to Boswell Henman, who opened the Royal Brighton and Sussex Zoological Garden, which closed by December 1832, all the animals being auctioned off in February 1833, rasing a fraction of the debts accumulated by Henman, who was declared bankrupt. The land was sold in the 1840s for what became Park Crescent. Sue Berry: 'Pleasure Gardens in Georgian and Regency Seaside Resorts: Brighton, 1750-1840' in Journal of Garden History, 1991, 220-229
