Something about several gentlemen makes me think “Italian”
The shorter one. Well he is not standing on the ledge, wearing a boater looks like Al Capone as. Young man -

, On our left as we look at the photo.
Th chap,in the lighter suit and Homburg hat at the front ,certainly looks Italian to me.
There were many immigrants in British towns at that time.
Manchester has a large Italian community but in Scotland and Wales too many towns had Italian families.
Hope you get more info.Viktoria.
P.S. wonder what the buttonhole in one man’s lapel signifies?
Could it be the green,white and red of the Italian flag I wonder.Red comes up quite black on B/W photographs.V.
P.P.S.,not a rosette but two dark centred flowers,sorry!
