The Rec in 1910


The last of the short series of pictures of the Rec. 

The postcard was sent in the September of 1914 but the picture could be earlier.

Whatever the year the season is the summer and there are plenty of children about as well as a dog.

What has struck me in all three pictures is the amount of litter left on the grass which gives the lie to the assertion that it is only us today who discard rubbish without a second thought.
