Photograph dating please
« on: Sunday 20 May 12 14:57 BST (UK) »
Hi everyone,

I wonder if anybody could date this photograph please?

I would love to know if it was taken at the time my ancestors owned the pub.

Thank you

Jack

Need to see all of it please and in colour, outer corners included, also the back if there is any printing on it at all.

That's the whole picture I'm afraid and no writing on the back.

Any ideas on dates?

Need to see the surrounding backing style, also the actual colour toning of the photo.

My gut feeling is circa 1905.   JohnCH.

Circa 1905 is really exciting as my ancestors ran the pub at that time. I wonder who the people could be?

Man in the foreground gives the impression of being the subject of the photograph, or is wrong to suppose that he could be possibly the licensee.

The licensee (Charles Heydon) was born in 1861 so quite possibly that is him.
