Notes:

The Thames Park [London, Ontario], located south and west of the Victoria Bridge appears to have been constructed in the early-20th century. The lands on which the park was built belonged to Albert Major, son of William Simpson Smith, who served a term as a Mayor of London. Before Major's death he expressed his wish for his land holdings east of Wortley Road to be given to the City for use as a public park. In 1926, his executors arranged the lands to be given to the City, which in turn led to the creation of Thames Park.
