As Venelow says, you don’t have any rights to an old photograph taken by somebody else so, if you don’t want somebody to “borrow” it’ don’t put it on line.

I’ve had old photos which I’ve “improved” used by others - they’re not “mine” so they’re welcome to them. Similarly, I’ve had others complain that I’ve “stolen” “their” photographs.

You can only realistically complain if you’ve suffered some sort of loss financially.

It’s even easier to click and drag a website picture to your desktop (you can rename it there if it takes your fancy) and drag it from there into an email or wherever you want it to go.

Yes, definitely the Waldorf. I presume that it was somewhat up-market in the inter-war years? Consequently, its difficult to imagine a group of Stockport hatters staying in such a place. I doubt whether my grandfather would have been able to afford to stay there. I’ve always assumed it was a day trip.

Thanks everyone.

Well spotted but ......

The writing on the vehicle door says “Hire Department - Leonard Street EC2” and it’s unlikely that a bus would have driven to pick them up.

I’m aware that DB (and JA) are Stockport registration marks but I doubt a car would have gone with them. I think the signpost outside Stockport Town Hall says “London 198 3/4 miles” so it’s much more likely that they went by train and picked up the bus at Euston.

All I’ve cropped off is the white border so what you see is all I’ve got.

Why do you say 20’s, Treetotal? My grandfather and mother are sitting next to who I think may be my father. They were married in 1924 & he was born in 1925. From what I can see of “him” he looks about 12 so mid 1930s would be the best fit.

Bear in mind that the latest fashions may have reached Stockport somewhat later than the rest of the world!
