We need somewhere to play!

Parents and children calling for playing fields in Wivenhoe .  Here they are seen on Spion kop now Ernest road in 1935.. This was before the Parish council compulsory purchased the Hall land from Mr. Schofield, it was then called the King George 5th. Playing fields.  The houses in the background are in Rectory Road.
The piece of land they are sitting on was used by the  fair which used to turn up every summer.
