Hi
Is there anyway I can date and identify this photograph that we have...it must be of a relation but we do not know who what where when etc?
Its possible a Manchester image as we are from Manchester but our Ella side are from Yorkshire also?

It's after 1894 as thats the date Walkers Warrington ales started trading.
Sir Andrew Barclay Walker, 1st Baronet (1824 – 1893) was a brewer and Liverpool Councillor.
He was born at Auchinflower, Ayrshire, He was educated at Ayr Academy and at the Liverpool Institute. He followed his father son of Peter Walker of the Fort brewery at Ayr, in to brewing.
In 1879, on the death of his father, he gained control of the buiness and in 1890 he converted the private company into Peter Walker & Son Warrington & Burton Ltd a limited liability company, several Pubs in the Liverpool and the north west of England still carry the slogan Walkers Warrington Ale in their frosted glass.
His son was William Walker, 1st Baron Wavertree.
He built the Walker Art Gallery which is named after him and donated it to the City of Liverpool. For this, and other good works, he was knighted and later raised a Baronette.

It's a 1920's works outing or something similar. A lovely old motor charabanc.
I've been trying to find a reference to "Grosvenor Paper Bags " without success
-
I think the vehicle is a Daimler from around 1920. Similar to this one http://www.svvs.org/genpics8/1920_Daimler_Charabanc.jpg but slightly different in detail
-
I think the paperbag company maybe from North Wales area.
Grosvenor, Chater & Co. I believe the company traded as. •Grosvenor Chater & Co Ltd, paper makers, Abbey Mills, Holywell.

The coloured gentleman at the back sports a small union jack flag. The person in front of him has a tricoleur. I wonder what that's about.

on the right hand side one gent appears to be wearing the turkish flag

Flags of Turkey, UK, and France. I'm reminded of those little flags on sticks that you could get at the seaside to decorate your sandcastle - imagine one of those stuck into a breast pocket.
-
I wonder why they are all wearing flags..I thought voting day or the end of the war or something?
Any ideas?
tis a mystery!
lol

Up to 1923, Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe and Zambia) used the British South African Company Flag, which looked just like the union jack but with BSAC emblem in the middle. Could be that flag, and could explain why he is wearing it, since he is the only one.

Just about everyone is wearing boutonnieres, except the man on the extreme right. He might be the driver of the vehicle. Perhaps this is some kind of war memorial day trip to the ... er pub. ;D
-
Given their likely ages, the likelihood that this was taken in the 1920s and the odd collection of nationalities maybe this was a group visit to a factory by potential customers?
