I would agree with the Lady G around 1910.

Let's just agree on the circa 1910 date for the pic - some of my ancestors were members of the  Order of Rechabites  (and try removing the Re from that  ;D  )

Thanks to everyone.

I contacted the Library at Rawtenstall to see if they had any information on Imperial Studios Main Street.  They searched Directories & Newpapers they have found nothing they told me there has never been a Main Street in Rawtenstall.

So I am still trying to find out just who those people could be in my Family Tree!
