The Boys Brigade
A Summer Fete at Michaelstowe Hall, Ramsey, Essex in July 1913 (Wallis No 8)
In the height of the last summer before the outbreak of World War One in 1914, a fun day was held at Michaelstowe Hall. This particular card shows the "Boys Brigade" and the immaculately dressed ladies with summer hats (no suntan lotion in these days). These real photographic cards were produced by "Wallis Studios" and "Steggles Studios" both professional photographers based in Dovercourt,suggesting this was quite an event.
