Mostly girls,  with only a few boys.

In those days, most  schools had separate  "Boys"   and "girls"   entrance doors,  I think?

It might be a church...they often put on Pantomimes.

Definitely looks like the exterior of a church to me.

I believe that in 1909  once a female teacher got married then she could no longer hold the post of teacher.   In England and Wales.        Whether the regulation  came into existence in the 1920s,  I do not know.

Fabulous photo Caz. Looks like the children are in costume. A play perhaps?

Buttresses on the left so it could be a church.

The children look well turned out and fairly well to do.

I thought it was an affluent area, also are the girls in front sitting on hassocks borrowed from the church, I wonder if it is a Sunday school picture.

Adding the name Mrs. Richards, St. Mary's - 1909 to the title might pull in the punters Caz...otherwise...we have more chance of getting the inside leg measurements of the Pope than getting the name of the place this was taken  ;D ;D ;D

A lot of the little girls seem to be dressed as angels or fairies.

The photo is in amazing condition, just slight silvering on the corners from being in an album.

The costumes are quite elaborate, check out the young toff with his top hat and tails! Definitely well to do families.

To be honest Carol I think Mission Impossible just about sums it up.  ::)

Some element of Nativity because of Stars.

Whether there are Three wise men?

The person with the top hat  could be dressed up to be like the Lord Mayor.   Someone with a Bowler Hat would be like a Foreman or a Civil Servant.    A tricorn Hat  like a Town Clerk.

I wonder if they had borrowed their head gear from their Fathers?

Could it be  celebrating the launching of a ship?

So, Liverpool (Birkenhead)   Belfast   or Glasgow.
