Following an open air service, led by the New Life Church, stalls and games were enjoyed.

The Jameson Bridge site was opened in July 1959.

The play area was a bequest to the town under the terms of the will of Elizabeth Ann Proctor and is named after Isabella Bell.

Mrs Proctor was for many years headmistress of the Market Rasen infant school and her great friend Miss Bell was headmistress of the senior girls’ school close by.
