Coloured postcard of the view of the Thames from the Terrace and Buccleuch Gardens, Richmond. Ink: Dear Henry / I wish you a firest class holiday. Am off to southsea tomorrow. Perhaps the picture on other side calls up memories of 1900. Yours sincerely Tom [address in Gloucester supplied]. The Terrace Gardens in Richmond were originally a group of three houses, which were bought by the Richmond Vestry and turned into a park, opened in 1887. Among the properties was Buccleuch House, and the fifth Duke of Buccleuch (President of the RHS 1862-73) may have played a part in the development of the gardens
