I think 1947 but there is no sign of any snow. It must have all melted. It is before the Douglas stand was painted cherry and white(without planning permission)

Hi xxStuartxx, you wouldn't know if the "white house" was called "Hills Cottage" would you? Only Central Park in 1902 was owned by a butcher named Hill who grazed his cows on what became known as Central Park and I just wondered.......just a thought.
