The image shows the excitement of the game between the Thames-Street Club and the Townsend team, with the action unfolding in the marketplace of this ancient town. The game, which started at 11am and finished at 5pm, was considered to be the whole town and the river, making it a unique and challenging experience for the players. The winning team was the one that managed to bring the ball closest to the marketplace by the end of the day.
