southside Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 Lots of familiar landmarks/buildings to pick out in this 1857 William Ibbitt painting of Norfolk Park. Anyone have any idea what`s going on in the foreground? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edmund Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 Possibly crowds assembling for the May1856 Crimean peace march, which started at Norfolk Park, went through the main streets of the town, and finished in the Wicker. There were many cricket matches played in the Park, but the crowd look too spread out to be watching a match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
