Roy was Chair of the Lee Valley Park 1981-6. We can't find any information on him so we looked into the Park instead.
The Park is huge, 10,000 acres, more than four times the size of Richmond Park, 26 miles long, and extends from the River Thames out to Ware. It was created in 1967 and is (2021) managed by the Lee Valley Regional Park Authority.
On the map, Myddelton House, the headquarters of the Authority, is close to number 18.
