The lorry men will know the period I bet. To me it looks like very early fifties. There’s plenty material in one of the ladies coat. She is wearing what looks like the ‘NewLook’ after the war. More material was used after having Utility clothes during the 40’s. Sparing the material used for dress and skirts etc. just a guess.
