Title: Family name - Ward. Could anyone date this pls? U.K. circa 1930s?

I'm hoping someone can help with this. It's a photo I've had for a while which used to belong to my late grandmother. There are no other photos I've ever seen of my Great-grandparents and I'm not sure it's them. They were from Longton, Stoke-on-Trent. The couple in the photo look like they're in their 60s, which if true would date the photo to the late 1930s.

Your photo has dropped out of sight, Andsm, so just bringing it up to see if anyone can help.

I'm thinking that this might be the early 1930s rather than later as the bar shoes can date from 1920s to early 1930s.

1930's possibly 40's looks right.

Add - I think that they could even be in their 50s, rather than 60s.
