Description: The postmark on the back of the postcard was stamped at Long Eaton, but the picture was not taken there. The photograph shows the heights of the roofs on the houses in the background are staggered, indicating that they are built on the downward slope of a hill. There are no hills like this in Long Eaton. Possible alternative locations with hills similar to this in the area are the top of Town Street (then called Church Street) at Sandiacre, or perhaps Castle Donington, which would be the next town on from Long Eaton. (Please let us know if you can identify the location or give any details of this event). The people look as though they are watching men mustering or volunteering for recruitment at the start of World War 1. There is a line of soldiers going into the building in the centre.
