Is there any indication in the form of a photographer's name/address of where the picture was taken?

Hi,

The photo is a family group (attached) and sadly will probably not provide much more information (although I would be happy to be wrong) even though it is a postcard. The photographer was my great-grandfather who was a photographer and produced the postcard!

The lady standing next to James is his sister (My great-grandmother), the older gentleman sitting is her father-in-law (also a photographer), the two young boys are her sons, the younger, blond one is my grandpa (who also became a photographer) and we are not sure who the older lady is.

It's at times like this you wish there were names on the back or a message giving you a clue!
