Description: The Fifth Annual Sports Day of Platt's Stores' Athletics Club was held on Wednesday 26 June 1912 at Teale's Field in Bath Road, Hounslow (now the site of Clipstone Road and parts of Bulstrode Road/Bulstrode Avenue). The sports day included walking and running races, the long jump, and 'tilting the bucket', which involved a wheelbarrow, a long pole, and a bucket of water (and the consequent drenching of unsuccessful competitors). The spectators in their best clothes are seen strolling and taking tea. The best dressed man is likely to be Mr Platt. One little boy is fascinated by the camera. In the background, trains from the Metropolitan and District Railway's Hounslow Branch Line are seen passing along the embankment to Hounslow Barracks terminus station (now Hounslow West Station on the Piccadilly Line).
