Essenchill.   I suggest that you take the photo in to your local weekly newspaper,   and ask them to print it and ask their readers recognises themselves on the photo, and to explain where and why it was taken.  The papers love that sort of photo and story.

That's a good idea Scouse..Hull Daily Mail have a Daily Flashback page where people send in their photos and ask for help in identify people and places in and around Hull:

Thanks, I'll contact the Hull Daily Mail.  I live in Manchester so it's not my local but that makes little difference!

Quite a number of the photos from Flashback online at http://www.dipintosales.co.uk/thisisHullAndEastRiding/dgallery.asp?i=209&f=Flashback

I would go for the late 40s to early fifties.  I remember my father with his hair slicked back with Brylcreem like Denis Compton from that period.

There are several Brylcreem Boys among that group, aren't there?

Hi everybody...Treetotal sent me over here

I emailed the photo to OH who is also from Hull...without seeing any of the thread he guessed the Old Infirmary.

Googling the infirmary gave me a lot of hits for ghost tours

I thought the bottle looked like Rose's lime stuff...but as I'm not English I'm probably way off. Schweppes acquired Rose's in 1957, but I couldn't locate any factories in the Hull area.

The men's clothing doesn't really show anything dateable... it could be anything from the 40s to the 60s really. I'd like to see the lady's dress but it's likely a costume and not a current fashion. Sorry

Cheers,
China
