Doug Palmer above part of the Crazy Golf complex |
The Maidencombe Community Group's chairman, Doug Palmer, discovered something unusual as he commenced mowing the grass in front of the chalets. An ornamental concrete path meandered down the slope onto a series of inter-connected concrete levels. Vegetation had crept over the 'path' over the years and eventually hidden it from view and memory. Until seeing it for myself, I had forgotten that this was the site of the Crazy Golf complex that existed back in the sixties when Sladnor Park was a flourishing country house and holiday centre. The sight of the jumble of concrete paths triggered past memories of the hotel, leisure room and swimming pool that were there when I first arrived in Maidencombe fifty five years ago.
