About Letchworth from Wikipedia:
"Letchworth Garden City, commonly
known as Letchworth, is a town in Hertfordshire, England. The town's name is
taken from one of the three villages it surrounded (the other two being
Willian and Norton) - all of which featured in the Domesday Book. The Garden
City was founded in 1903 by Ebenezer Howard, was one of the first new towns,
and is the world's first Garden City. Its development inspired another
Garden City project at Welwyn Garden City, as well as many other smaller
projects worldwide (Canberra, the Australian capital, was influenced by its
design concepts, as was Hellerau, Germany), and had great influence on
future town planning and the New Towns movement. Today it has a population
of around 33,600."

The flickr web site doesn't give any indication that this is a Letchworth
flag, neither in the labelling, nor in the comments fields. Other internet
photographs show this same flag at the same location with some lettering in the
yellow stripe, probably "LETCHWORTH GARDEN CITY", although it is hard to tell:
http://www.letchworthgc.com/placestovisit/leisureandrecreation/plinstonhall.html
and other sources show the flag, as on the flickr web site, without lettering:
http://en.wikinews.org/wiki/File:Plinston_Hall.jpg.
However, these
are the only images I've been able to find and images of this flag are not
widespread throughout the internet. They mostly appear to be associated with
this one venue, Plinston Hall, which is owned and operated by the Letchworth
Garden City Heritage Foundation, an industrial and provident society, and they
use a logo, which can be seen on the Letchworth Eagles Football Club web site
here:
http://www.letchwortheagles.org.uk/teams/seniors/seniors.asp which is very
similar to that on the flag, so I would suggest the most likely explanation is
that it is their logo on a flag, rather than a Letchworth flag per se.
