England - Westcliff - Home grown dahlias in 60s front garden

Homegrown beds of dahlias grow in the front garden of a council house in the early 1960s. The flowers are fine specimens of this species. Prospering, tall and healthy in summer sunshine in this front garden in Southend-in-Sea in Essex, England, their reds are brilliantly reproduced and recorded by Kodachrome film by an amateur photographer in 1963. Net curtains (drapes) can be seen in the windows and the green grass is clipped and mown to reflect the obsessive nature of the resident and plant grower. The picture shows us a memory of nostalgia in an era from the last century.
