Where are my Grandparents

[jettejjane]

I have another pic, but I am thinking it is too easy.  Not for me though I would guess at late 40's early 50's.  I had a  few ideas where it might be. I have googled but  not come up with anything.  My grandmother was a great one for hats , granddad on the right always wore  suit even when gardening! Assume man on left is friend maybe his wife was talking picture.

I have a feeling this will be over quickly. But I would be interested in finding out where it was taken.

I mentioned my guess at date in original post

If it's a pier that will eliminate a lot of seaside towns.

Jan, just guessing at pier. But yes I agree not all have piers.

I think what is between nana and grandad looks pier like.

The men may be wearing poppies, which along with the black may indicate its Remembrance Day. Could they be standing in front of a war memorial with no name plaques in the shot? Or maybe the nearby building on the right is part of a memorial?

Also, do the shadows give any clues, I make it that they're facing south into the sun at around midday? If it is a pier, is the sea to the left of the photo, therefore they're on a west-facing coast?

just a couple of thoughts

Stonework design on the pillar matches that on the right hand side of the wall.

The colour tones on the tower have a seaside feel.  If not the entrance to a pier, could it be the entrance to a funfair?

Matthew, thanks. I did wonder if men were wearing poppies or some sort of badge.and I too did briefly think war memorial. If I knew who other m an was that might help.

I still think building to right of nana is pier like.

There are lots of images of Bournemouth pier on Google.

There is a theatre on Bournemouth pier.

There is a very impressive War Memorial in Bournemouth Central Gardens,

Google it for more photos and press reports.

There is.

But it bears no resemblance to the buildings in Jane's photo.
