Another Westhoughton school photo, taken once again by J.B.Harrison of Bolton Road Walkden. Nearly all the children are girls.

Labels: , ,


I'd like help with the identification of this photograph, which I think was probably taken in Daisy Hill Westhoughton, as that's where all my mother's family were from.

Could it date from the late 1800s? I always believed that my grandmother Esther Horrocks was in the photograph, but she was born in 1885, which would make this a very early school photo.


Any help would be much appreciated!

Eli Curran with his wife Eliza Ann (nee Bentley) and his son Wilfred.



Oldham Pals - a less formal group photograph than usual of Eli Curran and some of his Manchester Regiment comrades.

Eli is seated, third from the left.

I don't know when the photo was taken, but the photographer's address (across the bottom left of the photo) is Middlesbrough. Perhaps it was a training camp.

Can you date this photo by the pram?


I wonder if anyone is able to put an approximate date on this photo for me?
