Photo dating please - Not restoration
« on: Thursday 19 November 09 00:22 GMT (UK) »
Hi,  I'd appreciate any clues to date of this photo.  I have no clues as to the people - it was among a number
of 1930s pics of extended Harrison Jaques Nightingale family of Hoyland - Platts Common.   Thank you, Heather

Hi Heather  :)

The photo looks like it was taken 1900-1910 or so.  Someone with a bit more time will hopefully be able to narrow it down some more for you - my guesstimate is based on the women's outfits, particularly blouses and hats  :)

Cheers
Prue

I think I can narrow it down to the 2nd. half of the decade
These small brimmed hats were a short lived fashion at this time.
The lady on the left has the tight fitting sleeve just becoming fashionable
around 1908.
The little girl in the middle looks like she's broken her arm.

Dear Prue and Jim, Thank you both, it's good to get your ideas about the date of this photo. We'd noticed the sling - great fashion accessory.  Unfortunately doubt we'll ever identify the group.  Kind regards  Heather
