Boston Manor Park Urban District Council. Some land was developed as housing and the park was opened to the public on 11 September 1924. Comprising an area of surrounding the manor house, the park is accessed from Boston Manor Road on the eastern perimeter. The construction of the M4 motorway in 1964-5 was the biggest alteration to the park landscape, dissecting the park from north-west to south-east perimeters. The Grand Union Canal and River Brent run along the western perimeter, the canal taking in what is now known as Clitheroes or Clitheroe's Lock 99. The canalside is a designated Nature Conservation Area. Notable

For example, they open bank accounts in order to receive a free ceramic piggy bank and get their $20 checks cashed, then close their accounts without having to pay a fee.
