Pic No3 is a boot/shoemaker shop or a cobbler's shop, it has the traditional sign of the boot above the window, window is full of footwear

Pic No1 maybe brickmakers or brick kiln workers, note the clogs, they were used in industry generally where the workers had to stand on hot furnace floors to fettle or moulding beds when the moulds were broken open, One boy is holding a brick and the other boy a chimney pot or a piece of drainpipe.

Can't help with the dates

Hello Bridtol
For dating it's best to put these up individually to save confusion also show the backs.
1.3 & 4 are they postcards? is there a stamp box on the back?
2 looks like a WW1 memorial card
5 Could be as early as 1860's.Is there a logo on the back?
6 early - mid 1870's.
last 2 late 1880's - early 1890's.Is there a logo on the back
missed one,the one with the arches,is it a postcard etc.
