Thank you everyone,
The reason I wanted a date is because I thought it could be my grandfather and his brothers but my grandfather died in 1923 aged 39 ,but I now think the gent in the middle is my grandfathers newphew who won a Military Medal in 1944 fighting in Italy I have that medal ,and the other two could be his father & brother or uncle .there is a North Wales connection so could the pier be Bangor or Llandudno ? can you see steam coming out of a funnel  and are there gas lights on the pier .

How I wish our ancestors  put names and dates on pics , but then maybe our research wouldn't be so exciting .

Kind Regards Mrs Griff.

The Pier in the photo is neither Llandudno or Bangor, I'm sorry to have to tell you.
