People Riding Horses in Rotten Row in Hyde Park, London, 1931. 'The first of the thirties. A time of optimism - vague and woolly perhaps, but still optimism. A new look to those who go up and down in the park. Dress less formal, but still the same stable old Britain. No Cold War, no hydrogen bombs, and though the world might be well and truly in the economic doldrums, it was still a wonderful place. Especially when you were young'. From "Time To Remember - A New Era", 1931 (Reel 1); documentary about the world in the early 1930s.
