Title: Pathway, Southampton Common [Go to resource]
Description: Southampton Common has a long history. The first written record of it is in 1228. It became a public park under the Marsh Act of 1844, confirmed by later legislation. The Southampton Marsh and Markets Act, 1865 lay down that the borough's open spaces should be "for ever devoted and kept exclusively as parks, gardens, pleasure grounds, play grounds and open spaces for the general and public advantage of the inhabitants of Southampton and persons resorting thereto." Our postcard, no. 2013 in the F G O Stuart series, is postmarked 21 July 1916.
