Wigan Harmonic Male Voice Choir, location photograph taken not known.
The choir was founded in 1901, and it would appear this picture was taken in its early years. Many members later went on to be founder members of Wigan Choral Society.

Many men in this particular era, sported a moustache.

What a marvellous photo! Thank you Mick.

Thanks Polly. It was given to me earlier today. The actual photo is about 18 inches by 12 inches in size, and then on a large cardboard mount, so it was too big to scan. I ended up laying it flat on the ground in my backyard, and taking a photo of it, so I'm quite surprised it came out so clearly.

Could be in the Delph Tea Gardens Parbold

Quite possibly, Mick.
I also wondered given the trophies shown at the front, if the photo had been taken at a competition venue, further afield.
