THE prolonged period of hot weather has revealed a hidden 1930s garden in Malvern.
Photos show swirled patterns have reappeared in the grass at Rose Bank Gardens, a quiet park off Belle Vue Terrace.
When compared to a postcard picture of the gardens from the 1930s, it appears the patterns match those that had been cut into the grass.
The gardens were initially part of a house known as Rose Bank, before being purchased by Charles William Dyson Perrins in 1918 and gifted to the town of Great Malvern.

The patterns in the grass have reappeared following weeks of hot, dry weather in Malvern and across the country.
It is a phenomenon known to have affected other historic gardens, including at Chatsworth Estate in Derbyshire.
In July, estate staff shared drone footage of the dried grass, which revealed the outline of a garden on the estate from the 17th century known as ‘The Great Parterre’.
Throughout the dry weather, firefighters and the Malvern Hills Trust have issued repeated warnings that the conditions mean there is an increased risk of wildfires, like those seen in Pershore and Stourbridge in recent weeks.
