Street scene DALE shop front:Tailor Outfitter Furnisher Eckington

Judging by the blurring of the people on the right, I would have thought the photo was earlier than 1910.

Hello dublin1850,
The photo is in fact a postcard! Going by the 'finish' of the card it cannot be that much earlier than about 5 years absolute maximum. The technology wasn't around. IF anything it might be a shade later (than 1910). It doesn't look like a 'reprint' of an earlier image - something you very rarely see in postcards of this age.

The blurring also affects (to a lesser degree) the men on and by the cart. I suspect they were just moving when the photo was taken & unaware of the photographer's presence! People tended to stop and pose (taking into account the amount of time it took to take a photo) as it was very much a novelty then.

Please look at Ernest's 1911 census entry,if you have access.

I don't think the postcard pic is 1800's as I don't think there would be pavements?

Not that I'm "clued up" but that's my thought?

There's an online tree that has Ernest Adeney Dale as Silk weavers and Stay makers.

The description which attracted my attention was "draper outfitter furnisher".

Might it be Burslem, Staffordshire? There was a furniture warehouse there at 45-47 Liverpool Road, proprietors  Daniel Dale and subsequently his widow Sarah Dale. In operation from the 1870's through to post-1901.

Hi Annie,
It is impossible for the pc to be in the 1800s!! This type of PC did not come about until the "Golden Age" c1910 +/-
