Coloured postcard of a view of a bridge in West Ham Park. Ink: Just a card as promised. Having a glorious time Plenty of place to see around here. Went to the Hippodrome Saturday evening. Kind regards to all L.M.S. [address] [address in Aldershot supplied]. West Ham Park was formerly the grounds of John Fothergill's house, Upton House; its later owners, the Gurney family, sold it (then called Ham House) to the City of London. It was opened as a municipal park in 1874
