I wonder if it's a family group photo taken after a church event, possibly Easter Sunday? They may even be standing in church grounds, although if that were the case I'd have expected to see the church as a backdrop rather than the house(s).

It is turning into an epic isn't it??? ;D

I think we'd have more luck if we could identify the owner of the big fingerprint on the right!!

Can't identify the location but can say with a degree of authority that the code of dress is definitely Edwardian. The young lady in particular is wearing a design that would date to around 1902. I think the chap in the top hat is simply holding his unlit pipe in the palm of his hand. the building in the background has a porchway showing on the left which indicates it is indeed more than one building as does the appearance of three chimneys. I don't know for sure but isn't that an ousthouse in the background on the right..?
Can't see any sign of anybody looking over walls even when blown up

Hi Joanne,thanks for that.For some reason its a lot clearer looking at the original through a magnifying glass! I've scanned it at 2400  but it seems to separarte,but its deffo a pipe in the fellas hand and a bloke on the wall.I can't tell what the out building at the back is though. :)

Just a thought for what it's worth.

Is the group comprised of :- Mother, Father their daughter and two sets of parents?  The older lady standing next to the younger has similar features particularly around the mouth.

Bob & Joyce (it's a joint thought!)

Rochdale - Shaw
Saddleworth - Winterbottom Whitehead Broadbent

Leeds - Berry, Chadwick

I would be happy to use my artistic ability   ;D and draw the building without the inclusion of the people in front.
Would this help?
