Please could anyone date the workmen?
« on: Sunday 02 November 08 13:04 GMT (UK) »
I would love opinions on when this photo was taken...if it is the person I think it is...it would have been taken in the early 1900s...George...on the right of the pic was born in 1846.
Would appreciate your help and comments ;D
Thanks ~ Carol

I think it's a real snippet of history, this one.

I noticed the straw bags with leather straps for the "snap", and your rellie also seems to have a beer bottle just to hand  ;)  Ooh and the man sitting on the left has his bottle in his breast pocket!

I agree that the man at the "barbie"  ;D has his thumb on something quite large resting on the bread, so perhaps it is a sausage.
