1900-1910 would be a safe bet. Wearing ties outisde of jackets became fashionable (being more casual) in the early thirties and was considered a bit distasteful or tatty prior to this period. I noticed that the elder woman was wearing all black. I would say that in this photo, she may be influenced by the passing of Victoria to wear this mournful colour, as it would be a fashionable (or, more respectful) manor to dress. I would go for 1901-1905.

Can I suggest that you all look at the ladies' hemlines - I can see their ankles or at least their boots!!  This didn't start to happen until around the war (first that is) years.  The older lady is old enough to resist such a change and therefore I would think it was well after this became a fashion for younger ladies.  It was taken in the back garden - I would humbly suggest the 1920s.

Heather, I have a similar pic. to this one and would say date is between 1899 & 1910. Hope you are successful.

Thank you all for your opinions! Ticker that's a great site and I'm off to have a proper browse when I get a minute (or when the kids leave me alone!).

I honestly don't think it's as late as 1920's as the younger woman was born 1869 and doesn't appear to be in her 50's to me ...but I've been known to be wrong before
