#ஹைடு பூங்கா#Hyde Park London

———————————————————-

லண்டன் ஹைடு பூங்கா Hyde Parkயை எட்டாவது ஹென்றி 1536 அமைத்தார். இங்கு பல முறை சென்றது உண்டு. ஆங்கில இலக்கியங்கள் இந்த பூங்காவை பற்றி சிலேக்கின்றது….. இங்கு  சொற்பொழிவுகள் மேடைகளில் ஏறி கடுமையான  எதிர் வினைகள், விமர்சனங்கள்   எவர் மீதும் வைத்தும்பேசிக்கொண்டு இருக்கலாம்

The park was established by Henry VIII in 1536 when he took the land from Westminster Abbey and used it as a hunting ground. It opened to the public in 1637 and quickly became popular, particularly for May Day parades. Major improvements occurred in the early 18th century under the direction of Queen Caroline. Several duels took place in Hyde Park during this time, often involving members of the nobility. The Great Exhibition of 1851 was held in the park, for which The Crystal Palace, designed by Joseph Paxton, was erected.

Free speech and demonstrations have been a key feature of Hyde Park since the 19th century. Speakers' Corner has been established as a point of free speech and debate since 1872, while the Chartists, the Reform League, the suffragettes, and the Stop the War Coalition have all held protests there. In the late 20th century, the park was known for holding large-scale free rock music concerts, featuring groups such as Pink Floyd, The Rolling Stones and Queen. Major events in the park have continued into the 21st century, such as Live 8 in 2005, and the annual Hyde Park Winter Wonderland from 2007.
