| An aerial view looking westwards down Long Road from somewhere near the tube station. Seems to be taken from too high for a building but rather low for an aeroplane or balloon - Any suggestions? Worth looking at the details - Trams, coach, cart, etc, not much traffic, maybe early on a Sunday morning. | |||||

The Bandstand and an unidentified building, Edwardian postcard, date stamp unclear. Can anybody tell me what the history & purpose of the little building is? The 1894 OS map shows a "Refreshments House" to the east of the bandstand and another, smaaler building surrounded by a fence or hedge to the west. This hut looks to small to be the "Refreshments House" but could be the other building. | ||||
