Location and when taken
« on: Sunday 08 March 09 14:26 GMT (UK) »
I picked this up at a car boot sale for 50p, complete with frame
I have removed the photo from the frame, the card it is mounted on is marked T Hollingsworth, Beverley. A well known local photographer. On the reverse is written Local - Bevereley?

At first I thought it was the War Memorial in the Memorial Gardens, adjacent to St Mary's Church, Beverley. I had a look today and is is not there.

I wonder if anyone can provide details of the occasion, location and date

Walford  Staffordshire,Yorkshire
Boyes     Beverley, Hull
Allison     Beverley, Hull
Bowser   East Yorkshire
Etherton Sussex

   Hi,
       I'm not certain but it looks very much like an'' Eleanor Memorial '', a memorial to Eleanor of Castile. There is one at Sledmere , which is in the right area i believe.Do some googling and you will find  more info and pics about them.
    As for the decade i'd say 1940's.

I think lornadoone's got it...well done :)

It's not an actual Eleanor cross but a replica, and this is the best photo of the figures on the side I've been able to find:
