That it was saved was due to the public spirit of Lord Mans- feld, who preferred to sell to my father and forwent the prospect. of a greater sum which might have been obtained by piecemeal development. AN Lord Haddo told a Daily Mail reporter that the cost to the London County Council of looking after London's new open space would be 2700 to 2900 a year.
