Yes 1940s.  :)

Woman second from left could be wearing a brooch but I wonder if it might be related to some war time service - not necessarily a medal, but along the lines of a sweetheart brooch?*  :-\

Can you get a clearer scan of it?

* or a (Nurses?) watch?

Looking at some of the few pics in my dating books, I'd say 1942-44 but  very difficult time to date during that time. WW2.

Thank you everybody for your responses.
The second lady with the brooch is my nan and she was born in 1900.
I have yet to discover who the others are.
Could i ask you thoughts on wether the others bear a resemblence to her at all?

Regarding the brooch comment - I believe this is a copy of the original photo and i dont know who had that - I will do a little more investigating.

many thanks once again for you time.

The two ladies on the left hand side look to be related.. same nose, same shape face, perhaps mother and daughter? the two on the righthand side look like they are eating boiled eggs.. a popular picnic fare at that time.
