What a hidden gem 💎

Mr Longridge said: “We feel it’s like a calm oasis within the city. You can really feel in parts of the garden like you’re out in the countryside.

“And we hope that it’s like a little hidden retreat for local people and for anyone else who wants to visit to have the chance to unwind a bit, relax and enjoy the garden and the wildlife together.”Goddards, on Tadcaster Road, was built by Mr Terry for his family in the 1920s. After its completion in 1927, Mr Terry moved in with his wife, Kathleen, and their four children, Peter, Kenneth, Betty and Richard.

So it is fitting that the charity uses Goddards as its York headquarters, particularly given the long-lasting connection between the Terry family and the city.Mr Longridge said: “You can still see the chocolate factory across the racecourse, which was being built at roughly the same time as Goddards.in terms of both the manufacturing and social history, just like Rowntree’s on the other side of the city.
