Another old cabinet photo, this one circa 1890. Photographer was Borrows, Market Place, South Shields.

A chapel outing?

There was lots of chapel and church outings in those days so you could very well be right, Margaret.

A bit of a shock looking at that. The girl third from the left, second row from the front is dressed almost exactly the same as on a photo of my Great Grandmother take around 1880 ish.

How long did that style of dress stay and used. Of course you had hand me downs.

The style ju of the bowler hats seem to be around for some years.

The photo itself I think was common, gatherings of some sort.

I have a photo taken at Gilsland in about the 1920 of a mock wedding. It’s got my Grandparents and father on it.
