GUIDE FOR PHOTO RESTORATIONS PLEASE MAKE SURE YOUR SCANNER BED IS CLEAN AND SCAN AT A RESOLUTION OF 300-600 WITH THE SCALE AT 100% MINIMUM.

If you would like a coloured version, details such as hair colour , eyes and clothing etc.  if known  would be helpful to restorers

Regards Roy

Hop picking was a popular seasonal family activity in Kent, so it could well be a hop farm.  The woman on the right appears to be wearing a sack, so maybe that's a clue...also, in the backgound to the right, there appears to be a crop cage on wheels.  Fred

Not much that's dateable, but the girls are wearing huge bows in their hair which became fashionable in about 1915, and continued until sometime in the 1920s, so I'd say maybe early 1920s? Wonderful photo, don't you just love that smile? :)

My opinion, and you may get others :)
