Nothing on the back. I thought the moustache looked quite fake and stuck onto a young boy hahaha but it isn't so.

I agree with China. The mount and style of the photograph coupled with the young man's suit are all turn of the century. Also, a quick Google search of the YMCA building in Newcastle Upon Tyne says that it was built in 1900, so I would guess this was likely taken sometime between 1900-1910.
