Ideally I would like to know where this photo was taken. It's possible it was taken on the land of gentry.

I confirm the link is to my GORDON family of Market Weighton and Pocklington.

They appear to be sheep dipping or similar.  I doubt if anyone could tell you where it was taken as the picture would be typical for any location
