Scope and content
With pencil note on back: '"Ludlow Tower". This photograph was taken at 4 pm on a Monday afternoon in the summer of 1936 & sure enough the chimes were playing "See the conquering hero comes'. The tower and its bells feature in A. E. Housman's poem The Recruit.
There is also a stamp on the back, 'Rose Magna Print', and a reference number, '28A'.
