More like early 60s by the girls dresses and men's suits. In the days of Pendlebury's (Debenhams). The elderly ladies in the background are wearing 1940s style coats, which was frequently the case in the 1960s.

I would agree with Christine....late 50's, early 60's. The dress & shoes of the young woman & the elderly ladies coats. Walk Days were a big occasion & looked forward to.

I remember the sticky out dresses in 1960 they were the fashion then. Plus American Tan stockings! The old ladies well dressed and wearing hats I see.

Yes, late 50’s early 60’s with that sticky-out dress with net underskirt which were fashionable at the time.
Ron, perhaps the Queens Hall Methodist Mission could verify?
