Note on back reads "Hawthorne blossoming on the meadows near the tidal mill at Thorrington, Essex". Someone earlier called the hawthorn "May" but this was corrected.
Car in background is a Triumph Dolomite, which dates this picture. The waterwheel is well shown here but some tiles are missing from the edge of the roof. The two gentlemen have not been identified.
Note on back reads "Warm greetings and good wishes to Mr Glover from C.B. Christmas 1948". Picture presumably taken the previous summer by C B Poulman.
