Picture of grass cutting at the bowling green Woodhouse Moor, Leeds.This bowling green on Woodhouse Moor was opened by the mayor of Leeds in May of 1906. Bowling on grass hereabouts is quite a popular pastime, but I think that its heyday is long past.
All over the city the grass cutters are out I have seen several city employees riding larger mowers but this man was using the smaller walk behind and steer type.
I took this photograph yesterday whilst walking back to the city centre from the University of Leeds campus. The day was bright but quite cloudy and despite the weather forecast there was no rain.

Looks like it was a good day - perfect for taking care of the grass!
ReplyDeleteThe one in Ripon is always busy with groups of elderly gentlemen. I like watching them, everything seems so calm and companionable.
Must be satisfying to look back on a mornings work and see it looking so smart. Nice angle on the pic, lots of textures.
