Thanks everyone, they are brilliant!

Any ideas on date though. She was born in about 1870 (if I have the right person), but the double photo looked quite late.

She has written on the back of them "To Doris, from Aunt Edith Beech". Doris was my Nan and was born in 1908. She also whote on another to my Great Nan "Jessie's nephew Alfred Beech". Alfred died in 1915.

This is what  makes me think that the dating of the photos is earlier that I assumed.

Marks and Sparks, nickname for Marks and Spencer. The original founder started it in 1884, and after someone else joined in 1894, then it became Marks and Spencer.

That's about the only date reference I can find. I'm sure the experts on here will be along to help you out though :)
