Title: Recreation ground Havant about 1910 [Go to resource]
Description: This view across the Recreation ground shows people watching a cricket match. The Congregational church can be seen on the left and St Faiths church on the right both on the horizon. The Recreation Ground was purchased in 1888 from Miss Norman for £1250 by the Local Board for a Jubilee Recreation ground. It was opened in 1889 and by 1903 it is recorded as having a Pavilion and a fountain. The latter was built in 1892 and removed in the second world war, because it was said people would walk into it in the blackout! Copy of a photograph.
