Photo Dating Please
« on: Monday 26 October 09 11:50 GMT (UK) »
Hi All

Would somone be able to put an Estimate year to this photo please?

The picture was taken in a small Welsh Village called Llandrillo near Corwen North Wales. Every building in the picture is still there today.  My Partner grew up in one of the cottages and his parents still live there. Im sure you will agree its a great picture.

Many Thanks

Katy :)

Gosh, it really could be just about any time before 1920. But I'm going to sugest about 1900-5.
It's a bit hard to tell if the lady's skirt is longer than her apron but I think not. That puts her skirt at just about her ankle.
Someone else might have a better idea.

Lovely photo. i think I've been there in my youth on school trips  :)

I'd put it a bit later than Leonie and say 1910-1913.

Agree with Gadget,I've seen cottages identical to these by Cannock Chase,how anyone can live in something this small these days I've no idea.

I was thinking about 1910 or so before I saw any of the comments...no solid reason, just a feeling...

Thanks everyone - I think i have a round about idea which is great.

Jim  - my boyfriends parents have knocked through two of the cottages - the one with the little girl outside is still the main door but the door where the lady is stood is no longer there. The cottage is still small though but full of character.

 Next door (on the left) is currently for sale and is still a 1 bedroom cottage and again has some lovley features. Here is the link: http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-11900466.html?pageNumber=2&fromSummary=true&backToListURL=%2Fproperty-for-sale%2FLlandrillo.html%3Findex%3D10 

Thanks Again Katy :)

It's good to see they are still pretty much untouched to this day.
