Probably taken 1890-1900. The original photo is metal. My G/Grandfather lived at Ince & worked from 1850-1910 for the Railway.

My G/Grandfather was employed as a Foreman Shunter, then a Foreman Brakesman. I don't know where his place of work was, but he lived in Ince.
Does anyone have any ideas as to what colour his uniform would have been? Any information would be most welcome, thank you.
