Good points Trishanne.    I wondered if one of those women could be a Nursing sister (Nun possibly?)

I also thought that the lady on the left could be a nun.

Something about the door in the house in the foreground on the right ... something about the shape of the arch and the surrounding plaster being plain rather than ornate, no rain shelter, no wooden surround ... I don't know, it reminds me of photos of old houses in France or Italy.  It doesn't look English. 

I might be talking nonsense, though, as I've never been to either of those countries!

No - it's a British scene for lots of reasons, but principally the lack of shutters on the windows.

The woman on the left looks like she is walking. Her right leg (as we look at it) appears to be slightly lifted and her body is slightly angled. They have either paused for a second or are tasking a very leisurely stroll hence little or no visible movement. 

I think the girl/woman on the left is just wearing dark clothes. She doesn't appear to be wearing a head covering if that was part of the dress of someone in a religious order. I think she is a youngish girl with her hair down and tied back from her face.

Just my thoughts.

             I thought that as well.    Some sisters who work  in Hospitals and schools  etc  do wear  a different sort of  uniform than the traditional  nuns uniform.

The sign which is most visible is not on the wall but on a separate post as though a sign for a place rather than a "Gents"

Would they have outside signs on a "living quarters" such as a Hostel, Hotel etc 

Also, would the Ladies & Gents be separate rather than "2 entrances" side-by-side?

My thoughts.
