You're right James, it was too early for me to see properly.

I think the window behond is normal 12 pane sash window and not barred, what appear to be bars are wood insets for the glass and putty to sit into.

So do I!

I'm intrigued by the two small pear-shaped white blobs above the head of the tall man with the cap.....are they just blemishes on the photo, if not what are they?

blemishes is my guess

- if you want the photo restored you will need to change the original heading!!

Many thanks all, gives some food for thought. And no, not really after a restoration.

If its around 1912, its more than likely England. Although possibly a photo from US/Canada though that seems unlikely given the other photos that this was bunched with.

If its who I am thinking it has some relation to the Sadler family, not sure whom exactly still. But if so photo is likely Essex, maybe Walton-On-The-Naze.

For those fascinated by the flying pears, I have no idea. I had a look on my much better original scan, and if they are an artefact they are part of the original photo. Although its hard to tell if they are indeed that or something hanging.

Are those blobs something to do with wiring/electricity? $:-\$

The photo does not have an American feel to it I don't think.

I initially thought that the window looked unusual, but I think this may be due to the fact that it is so close to the eaves that the proportions look odd somehow. Considering the brick and boards I did wonder if the photo may have been taken in Essex, but the vertical boards threw me. THough this was obviously taken at the back of the house and I don't know what the backs of those houses look like.

This was along the lines I was thinking. They appear to be an unusual shape and too regular to be an artefact to me. Though I have no idea what such things looked like back then so didn't speculate.
