Help.  We know nothing about this photo, but it looks like a school or Sunday school outing, we think  the photo may have been taken up on the cliff road.  Do you know better, or know any of the assembled people?

Sometimes we get pictures that we just can’t place – this is one of them!  Beautiful freestone house, but haven’t a clue where it is.  Whoever they are they were proud of their achievements in life, the house takes pride of place in the photograph.  Turn of the century do you think?

But who is he and where and when was the photo taken?

All dressed up and nowhere to go, moustaches well groomed and caps on at jaunty angles, I wonder what this group of men were waiting for, are they going off somewhere or just waiting for the girls to pass by?

I haven’t a clue who these men were, or where they were – I guess it might have something to do with the distiguished-looking gentleman with the cane in the middle of the group.

Can anybody help us out?

Ok – I’m going out on a limb here – schoolchildren, Harlequin and Pierrot – school theatrical group?  Help me out here please!
