Request to date Saxon/ Swendell photo. Taken late 1920s? No restoration required

The attached picture was found in my late grandma's house in Bradford along with various photos of family members. In dating the photo I hope it will help me identify the people in it. The composition suggests to me a family with mother and father on the outside and grown up children in the centre.

The tall man stood up bears a resemblance to my great grandad Thomas Swendell. The older man sat down may be stood on the far right of another photo taken between 1908 and 1912 - https://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=832760.msg6973638#msg6973638. I'm looking into the possibility that the family are Saxons. Thomas's father married Ann Saxon in 1864 in Montreal. I wonder if the resemblance between Thomas and the tall man is because they are cousins and the older man is Ann's brother.

I think you are correct on both counts.
It's possible it's into the early 30's but 1925-30 is more likely.
Fortunately the older chap hasn't changed much over the 20 years.
