Children headed for the park in eager anticipation of meeting the friendly donkey known as The Children’s Friend. Each would wait patiently for their turn before being lifted on to Judy’s back. Laughing excitedly, they would then be led along winding paths and over the rolling grassland. Later the children
romped uphill and down dale or spent time by the lake, perhaps fishing for sticklebacks or dangling their feet in the water. Heading home on foot or by trams and buses, they relived their experiences when they got home. Judy gave rides to thousands of children during 21 years of devoted service in Princes Park.
She was a big attraction from 1905, when some of the park was still private, up until her death in 1926. It was a period that started in the high summers of the Edwardian era, through the uncertainties of the First World War and into the Roaring Twenties. This was a period of great social change in Liverpool when living standards gradu-
ally improved for most people. Princes Park, then as now, was popular with all ages. It was a pioneering green space designed by top landscape designer Joseph Paxton. Opened in 1842 on what was then the edge of the town, it took more than 10 years to complete.
