A 12x10 negative. A formally posed group of men and girls at the main entrance to the Rosherville Gardens, Northfleet. The men are all dressed in suits and they are all wearing a rosette on their left lapel. The six youg ladies sitting on the ground are wearing fancy and decorative costumes and are holding printed programmes for events to be held in the gardens. The price of admission is shown to be sixpence and a timetable board for the South Eastern & Chatham Railway is fixed to a wall near a 'Way Out' sign. The gardens were laid out in 1837 in a disused chalk pit and for a time were a place of surpassing beauty and a favourite resort of Londoners. They closed in 1902 but re-opened at Easter 1909 under the ownership of Edward Smith and with electric fairy lights installed.
