Princess Louise at the flower-show in the People's Garden, Willesden, [north London], 1874. 'This popular pleasure-ground is near the Willesden Junction station of the London and North-Western, West London, and Hampstead Junction Railways. It has been acquired and adorned by the agency of a co-operative club...That it may be open to all, the purchase of the shares may be paid by instalments of twenty-one pence a month, the possession of one share of twenty shillings in value being necessary to constitute membership; candidates for membership have to be proposed by members. A member can only introduce the same friend twice in a year...Her Royal Highness Princess Louise on Saturday presented the prizes to the growers of flowers, fruit, and vegetables, in the annual horticultural show...Mr. Warner, the chairman, explained the arrangements of the People's Garden Club. The flower and fruit show, under a marquee, was inspected by the company. The prizes were given by her Royal Highness on the dancing-platform. The Marquis of Lorne made a brief speech for the Princess and himself, and said that they had great pleasure in attending'. From "Illustrated London News", 1874.
