I found this at the bottom of a box of glass and ceramics I bought at auction. 1920's do you think? I often wonder who it was who arrived home to an absent partner and a supper of sprouts - and were they even warm!

What a wonderful photo, especially the back :)
The lady at the extreme left of the front row, and maybe a couple of others, are wearing an outfit called a suffragette suit, a fashion that came out in October 1910 and lasting until 1915.
As the ladies are mostly wearing hats it's not easy to see their hairstyles, but the hat styles with the prominent brims don't really look like 1920s fashion to me.
Hem lengths also look a bit low for post-war.
There are an awful lot of men in the photo and none in uniform, so unlikely during the war years. I'm going to guess just before the war, 1914-1915 or so.
Cheers,

My Nan did this...... when I found a couple of unamed photos with writing on the back I was delighted until I read them... it was always a message similar to this... 'Tea in oven'.. 'rent money on shelf'.. Bless her... ::)
