Well I have been thinking on that  --  They are a Leicester family but the surroundings don't look familiar to me.. will have a study

So after a good look, it could be Victoria Park Leicester at the junction that leads to New Walk .. maybe no idea really.

I had thought they had gone to Crystal Palace at one time but that is not this pic.



OK

sorry

Tried to match up based on photos, but can't seem to find the area. Obviously much has changed, but there was hope. Just for a nostalgic look, I was going to do an art-ish style shot combining a fade transition of backgrounds, but that seems to be out at the moment.

Here are the same two ladies in Abbey Park leicester..

wearing similar clothes and possibly the same hats.

I had hoped it was the same day, but it isnt.

Just found the Prince of Wales visited Leicester around that time so maybe that is why there were all dolled up.

if that first photo is at Abbey Park, I'd have to say it's near the River Soar.
