Unknown gentlemen, unknown occasion, unknown date
« on: Wednesday 18 February 26 09:57 GMT (UK) »
Me again.  ;D

This photo is in a big pile of old family photos. We have no idea who the chappies are, what they are doing, or when they are doing it.  ::)

Any suggestions?!

They all have flowers in their lapels...

Any suggestions gratefully received!

Thanks in advance,
Karen

A work group on some special occasion (either for the company they work for or for society at large)?

Agreed - the variety of garden flowers in their buttonholes is wonderful

The thing I notice most is that the gents have only the top button fastened.
This apparently indicates late 19thC/Edward times.
Google has loads of sources.

I too would say a men's works outing is likely.

LM never heard of that the only “Beano” I knew of was the comic 😂

Think it was a coach trip out, stopped halfway  for a drink of 2 or maybe 3,  I am sure my dad never want on one, although he was was Londononer, I  don't think somehow it was his cup of tea but he didn't work for a big company.

The chap in charge of the horse and cart with a pipe in his mouth has a top hat on - possibly 'the boss'?

Thanks to everybody for answering, and many thanks to Ladyhawk for the Beano link! I had never heard of that! The vehicles in the photos in the link are gorgeous. And it would appear that the flowers in the gentlemen's buttonholes would be typical for a Beano. If we could see an accordian in the photo, the answer would be complete.  ;)

You learn something new every day.  ;D

(Sorry for the delay in replying, but I couldn't get in - RC kept saying "Database Error"...)

Thanks again!
Karen
