The "Get-Up" the lady wore, reminds me of pictures of Queen Victoria at the end of 19th Century / turn of the 20th century.
The faded name G. Schofield; is that the stern looking lady's name in the photo or the photographer's name?
If you can decipher the street address beginning with letter "M" you could check through Kelly's Trade Directories for a portrait photographer in business in 1880's & 1890's and check out the trades and professions in the Nottingham street in the written on the photo (it's blurred and smudged but you may be able to read the original street address written on the photo with a magnifying glass).
I checked Kelly's Nottingham trades directory for 1904 and no photographer in a street beginning with the letter "M' and no photography shop just a litho artist, Douglas Needham on Maples Street.
So it looks like this photo was taken before 1904.
You would need to have many Kelly Directories in consecutive years, say between 1880 - 1900 and from dates the photographer was in business you can come up with a date range that the photo was taken.
BTW, some old photos on my Mum's side of the family were taken at Staffordshire photographer's shop and they are all dressed up like ladies and gents. I think the photographer would supply the clothes as I don't think they were all that posh. Costumes in photography shops may be years old and out of style to a follower of fashion.
