This looks like it was a perfect picnic spot back in the day. But where was it, and when was it used?
If you have memories of picnicking somewhere that looked like this, the team at Stratford Library would love to hear from you.
The photo is one of many the library team are seeking to correctly identify as part of an ongoing project. Stratford visitor information and library services team leader Bridget Roper says Stratford District Council (SDC) holds a large collection of photos of Stratford district places, people and events, and is seeking the help of locals as they go through and identify the who, what, where and when of the images.
SDC uses funding from the National Library Partnership Programme to digitise archived photos so they can be easily accessed by family historians, researchers and anyone else interested in the history of Stratford. Library and Visitor Information Centre staff look after the project and are looking for additional help from community members.
“We are looking for helpers to identify and provide metadata for the photos online. Metadata is information that provides a definition or summarises basic information about each image we have.
