Definitely not 1970`s.I left Highschool in the early 1970`s and men didn`t wear suits or have hairstyles like that.It was mainly long hair in the 1970`s.  ;D  The hippie era was just ending if I remember rightly. Its more like early 1940`s.

I wondered if the neckties might give us some pointers as there are several clearly visible.  According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Necktie it seems the date could be 1950s and the chap at the front's striped tie is striped in the American way (i.e. from right shoulder down to left side) if that gives any clues.

The window frames look 1930s to me but they are not new and so that places the photograph post war.  The ties are mostly tied with half windsor knots.  As most of the men are over forty this would make late 1950s most likely, which is supported by the style of some of the actual ties.

Re: Hull - but where and... when?

How old was grandfather when he died?  I'd think this was nearer 1959 than 1930s/40s (but then again what do I know  :-[ )   :)

Grandfather was born 1905 and died 1959.  So he was 54 at death in 1959.  I have other photos of him and will post some up later to demonstrate why I'm assuming this is earlier than 1959; I think though saying 1930's/40's was perhaps off the mark and should have been late 40's/early-to-mid 50's?

Thanks for all the suggestions so far everyone!

Hi behindthefrogs - Can you let me know your thinking on this as I'm confused!
Thanks

Hi Carol,

Family have only just confirmed they cannot find the marriage cert of grandmother and grandfather, I was holding out hoping someone would eventually find it - I've sent off for a copy of it earlier this week!

I haven't seen my parent's either, but as my grandfather died when my dad was seven, would his occupation be on it?
