First impressions are that it is a 1940s image.

Happy New Year Andy  :D

I find it difficult to date as I have a similar photo of my father and his brothers in 1920s  :-\

I'm not sure either Gadget, menswear didn't alter all that much and if it was 1920s I would expect to see a collar bar but not necessarily.
We need the poster to tell us which one was their Grandad and when he was  born.

This one is of the OP's wife's parents and aunty and uncle, etc. that looks 1940s:

so, if it was her grandfather in this one, it would suggest an earlier date - but then it could be the other line  :-\

Yes I see where you are coming from, men aren't easy to date and it's not my strongest point  ::)  ;D

Hello,
Thanks for all your responses. Have to admit I got the photos mixed up. This was an early picture of my wifes father, UK, c1950's ish.
Thanks, I will post it again for restoration.
