Leisure:
Time for leisure and recreational activities
was small for many during the past.
Maypole dancing, Gloucestershire, 1952.
Fairs, circuses, sporting events and bands, giving public concerts in
parks all filled people's leisure time. In towns and cities, music halls
provided evening entertainment, and museums and art galleries began opening
on Sundays. Country people would enjoy their allotments and gardens, working
in them in the evening, and entering home grown produce in the annual
village shows. Village inns and reading rooms were popular, and football
and cricket teams were established in some villages.
