Hello,
This photo is inherited from my mom's aunt and we believe it to be of the ladies and their children of Wildmoor and Fairfield (could even be some Belbroughton ladies).
The date, again speculatively, is c1905. We do know that the lady in the (centre) front holding a child is Rosa Day (who became Rosa Fox who came from Wildmoor and later lived in Belbroughton), we think the child is a younger sibling.
The lady on the far right, we are told, is Dorcas Hodgkiss (who was Dorcas Healey and before that Dorcas Fox and she lived up the Five Ways at one time  ).
If anyone is able to name any other people or knows the occasion or destination of the outing, that would be wonderful.
We did put the photo in the Bromsgrove Advertiser some months back, but no other names (apart from Dorcas) were forthcoming.
Thanks,
Lisa

No, she married George Fox, but he isn't the one from the Bell Inn. 1920's onwards, they lived next door to the New Inn (which isn't there now) up towards the church. Rosa died in 1935 and George in 1950. We don't have a photo of George.
Do you have the 'Album of Belbroughton' book, which has the picture of the Fox family you mention on page 20?
My mom asks is Stanley, who is the baby in that photograph, the same Stan Fox who was the geography teacher at Bromsgrove County High School in the 1950's who lived at Drayton? (just curious on this, they're not family).
thanks,
Lisa

Thanks  , we didn't know he was headmaster at Fairfield, but recalled there was a connection to the blacksmith. My mom went to Fairfield school (she says we won't put when )

she recalls the name but didn't know him in person, but she does remember his father being the village policeman and him going round on his bike, and didn't know about him being a poet.

This photo is very interesting especially as some of my ancestors (Banners and Byngs came from this area)
