Description: Photograph Notes: Joseph Moore, a local �gentleman and solicitor� established a �garden and pleasure ground� on this site between 1824 and 1864. He named the site �Temple Gardens� after the temple he erected cat the highest point and charged residents of Lincoln an annual subscription for access. The gardens were an important venue for band concerts, galas and exhibitions; in 1861 they were the venue of The Lincoln Exhibition � a month-long event which attracted 30000 visitors. However, following Moore�s death in 1864, the gardens closed and fell into disrepair. In 1920, the site was purchased by Lincoln Corporation to house the new art gallery housing the Usher collection [[[4114303]]] . James Ward Usher (1845-1921) was a successful entrepreneur and a devoted collector of decorative art; he died aged 76, bequeathing his outstanding collection of artworks to the city of Lincoln. Set in the grounds of the Temple Gardens, the Usher Gallery was completed five years later, an imposing classically inspired building designed by Sir Reginald Blomfield RA, and was formally opened on the 25th May 1927 (://culture24.uk/em000027 Culture 24). It is a Grade II* listed building (English Heritage Building ID: 486077 ://britishlistedbuildings/en-486077-usher-art-gallery-lincolnshire British Listed Buildings).
