Hi Zaphod

I tried your suggestion and it confirmed everything that’s been said. Please find answer received below:


“To date the photo based on clothing, we can analyze the styles and materials typically worn during certain periods.
Men's Clothing: The man on the left is wearing a long coat and trousers, which were common in the late 19th to early 20th centuries. The style suggests a working-class or rural setting.
Women's Clothing: The women are dressed in long skirts and blouses, which were typical of the late 1800s to early 1900s. The use of aprons indicates a domestic role, which was common during this time.
Child's Clothing: The little girl is wearing a simple dress that was also common in the late 19th century. The style of her dress, along with the overall attire of the adults, suggests a date range from the 1890s to the early 1910s.
Considering these factors, the photo is likely from the late 19th century to the early 20th century, possibly around the 1900s.”


Great idea and it worked well
 
Thanks to everyone

John

I have a couple of photo's taken in Derbyshire around 1908 with ladies wearing them long aprons in a mining village of Shuttlewood nr Chesterfield and one photo 1910 of a classroom of mix children with girls dressed similar to the girl in your photo. Having said this your photo looks a rural farm type building as they would have used cloths much longer so could be a few years later post WW1
In my opinion the marriage residence is not always the place of birth. Never forget Workhouse and overseers accounts records of birth

Hello Dob

Thanks for that. That would tie in nicely with the date I hoped it would be

It is a mining area - a mining company house - so it would match well

Thank you

John

Thank you - that is really appreciated

It’s exactly the sort of thing I like to look through and ponder

I’ll take a look now

Best regards
