Another challenge for eagle-eyed RC'ers

I think they must have been on holiday with another couple, Bryan.   Someone else must have taken the photo.

Right up until the 60s, there were street photographers who took snaps of holidaymakers and the following day the photos were on display in the photographers shop window.  If you wanted the photo, you just went in and bought it.

Yes, I agree, a street photographer ... if they had been photographed by a friend, they would have stopped walking while it was taken.

I have to agree with others that this is an early 50s (late 40s absolute earliest) photo.  Are there any other options for who these people might be?  I would say that it could not be a man born late 1890s and woman born 1905.

Well, unless the people who sent it to me had completely mis-identified the people in the photos, then I'm pretty sure that the woman was my aunt, who was born in 1905.  My cousins also knew the woman's nickname (Dolly) that the family always knew her by.  Since they never had any children, it's quite possible that the photo was taken in the late 1930's, but I don't think it would be older than that.

Thanks for all the cycling photos - they certainly do fit with what we're seeing in the photo I posted

Wonder if the zip up jackets came from America? They were ahead of us in the late 40's early 50's
