Thanks so much Irene,

It's amazing, each different perspective gives different features I had not noticed before, once again, I love the detail in the dress, and the colour.

Wykeham Studios Ltd. registered February 25 1910 and were a Limited Company by 1933.

165 Victoria Street, 1913 - 1957
304 High Holborn 1914 - 1934
133 High Road, Streatham 1910 - 1959
67 Balham High Road 1911 1950

These are the locations on the reverse of your photo so it would have been taken after 1914. No further locations served them at a later date to further narrow down the time frame of your photo.

I'd give it the 1920s, I have a pair of Mum and Dad, very much the same style from then

Thanks very much Beth and Paula,

It then puts this woman in 1920 as 28, if it is in fact who I think she is, do you think she looks that age? 

The response from this site is overwhelming, thanks everyone.

I think she might be, Jo,
by the way, welcome to Rootschat. Overwhelmed by the response? It's the way they are, here.

Thanks Jim and Paula,  Paula yes I would agree with you I had initially thought early twenties, but hey, I still think I look like I'm 20, when in fact I'm far from it!

Jim once again another feature picked up not noticed before, exceptional job.

Hi Jo

I'm a bit surprised nobody has said this before on the thread, but you have either compressed the file to such a small size that it is only 72ppi or you didn't scan at 300 ppi initially.  To get the best results and maintain quality of the pics when downloaded, you need to post pics at 300 ppi.

Hi,

Unfortunately, it is a scanned picture sent to me, I don't have the original, sorry.  The person who has it is 5000 kilometers away, would love to be able to rescan it ourselves.  I guess everyone was being nice because I'm a Newbie.

I am sorry if I've made life difficult, though have been extremely happy with the results.

Jo
