Place and Date - Photo Challenge 3

Can you date and place this photo? Can you date and place this photo?

In our third photo date and place challenge, we had a bridge for you to identify.

The archive photo is labelled as Ringwood Bridge, but now known as West Street Bridge, Ringwood. The photo was taken by Southampton-based Edwardian photographer F.G.O. Stuart. We date this photo as 1934 but unfortunately don't have an exact date. If you know any more, please add in the comment below.

Our second photo in the challenge is here. Well done if you guessed the location as the bowling greens at Meyrick Park. There is still a pavilion building (albeit slightly larger now) bottom left, and the smaller building in the middle hasn't changed appearance since the photo was taken. We date this photo in the mid 1930's but unfortunately don't have an exact date. If you know any more, please add in the comment below.
