Dates for two Brown Famiy photos please Kent
« on: Tuesday 18 January 22 14:46 GMT (UK) »
I would be grateful if someone could date these two photos for me please.
I've no idea who the people are, they are members of the Brown family who lived in Canterbury, Kent.
Thank you.

Thank you both very much for your replies.

Looking at the funkidslive website, I'm surprised that the children are also wearing large lacy collars.  I had thought the children in my photo were in a play, but perhaps this was fashionable at that time.  Very strange!

Have been browsing these photos and just popping in now to quote a comment from another poster

Agree Edwardian there are a couple of boys wearing large lace collars which was an
Edwardian style.
Could be anytime during that decade.
