September marks the start of Autumn. The heat of summer is swept away by a chilly wind and the leaves begin to fall from the trees.
Summer holidays are over and schools and universities are back.
It’s around this time that everyone is making the most of the remaining warm weather and longer days. Sports teams and clubs savour the last of the light nights.
We can see this in some of the photos taken in September throughout the years that we have found in our archives.
