Looks like the chap in the gateway is holding two packages to me.

As a matter of interest, if you darken the image, you can see what could possibly be cliffs and a harbour with boats in the background.

The globe light is on a wrought iron arch over the gate where the two men are standing. Agree there are notice boards to the right and left of gate, there is also a long notice board on the railings to the left of gateway. Could the gateway lead to a church I don't think it is to a house because of all the boards, unless it is a hotel.  At the back of the cleared area there seems to be a large fence or gateway.
The big house also seems to have a small notice board outside on the railings, could this  also be a hotel.
I agree with Greensleeves there appears to be something in the distance, but I can't make it any clearer.
The boys in the team seem to have quite an age range, the boys on the right look a lot older than the small boys on the left. It could be a rowing crew but the shirts don't look right for that.
When I was at school our playing fields used to be about quarter of a mile from the school and we had to walk in a procession like this, but we had changing rooms at the ground so we didn't wear our sports clothes to and from school.

Some of the boys appear to be smiling up at the photographer!    ;D

I think there is a 'board' at the other end of the cleared area also.    The large stone solid fence seems to go round the property as far as we can see doesn't it.

Just a comment so I can follow this thread!

I wonder if they are walking along a footpath rather than a pavement? Usually (well these days anyway) adults would walk on the road side when accompanying children - all those walking with the younger children at the back are on the inside.

I can't see any school badges on any caps or blazers.  As one man is wearing white trouses, I'm assuming he's the sports master of a school.  There appears to be two teams amongst the crowd.  Both teams are wearing white shorts, the team on the right wearing stripe shirts, the team on the left wearing dark shirts.  I'm wondering if the school had "houses" and the crowd is heading for the sports field to watch some sort of competition.

I had a feeling that the more sartorially elegant chap in the 'Oxfords' may be a black guy. I wondered if he might be a visiting celebrity sportsman?
