Not much to go on, so I'll just add my thoughts to provoke discussion:

1. I think it's more like 1930's -did ladies in 1920 have skirts as short as the two walking towards the door?
2. It's big to be a bowls club? Plus cafe ? Plus other buildings?  maybe a Golf Club?
3. "Something" abut the scenery, trees, cliffs says "Not UK" to me - Australia, NZ, SA ?
4. No-one is dressed for bowls - but dressed well - wedding party, funeral or similar ?
5 .Is there some writing on a sign below the window on the middel building to the right

Yes I believe it is more likely to be 1930s when I see the ladies' hemlines...it is inside a folder and taken by Harry Abba a Hull photographer but the hilly landscape doesn't fit with a Hull location but probably taken on the East Coast. Thanks for your thoughts.

I think it is a works/factory sports and social club, if it were a private club it would need to be in an affluent area.

I think this one says Ladies Toilets but it's hard to make out Pat.

I think the sign on the right near the gents shoulder may say LADIES. Something like this..

Doesn't help location though.
