I've got the same photo in a book, it says Strangeways Hall, a postcard, thought to have been taken around 1905.

this is from a set of postcards published by Valentines of Dundee in 1901/1902.

Neatly stacked props on the right, and a row of pit brow lassies to the left on a gantry, posing for the camera.
