Please date my schoolgirls

Here is a close-up of them

I think it is a little bit earlier - early to mid twenties.  I am basing this on childhood pictures of my mother (b. 1914) and her sister (b. 1906)  The haircut and clothes are very reminiscent of photographs, especially of my aunt. Hannah

Hi Hannah,

Thank you very much for you input.

There are quite a variety of hairstyles - and clothes!

One of the girls is probably related to me - but unfortunately I don't know which!

Thanks again

Blimey Judy,with those boots I bet you could hear that lot coming a mile off

Very true George - but better than getting holes in your boots and getting wet feet!

I have seen a very similar school photo of my mother which was taken around 1930. The clothes and hairstyles were almost identical to these girls.
Sadly my mother's photo got lost in the post when she sent it to my cousin, so I can't show it to you as a comparison.

Oh dear Pippakit! What a terrible thing to happen. 

Thank you very much for your comments - definitely food for thought!

girl at the back has something held on with a pin?

[oldtimer]

Yes, it looks like a rossette made of ribbon.

I did wonder if it signified being a prefect or moniter of some kind.
