My other granny didn't actually have much of a stash.  That side of the family didn't get into serious snapping until the 1920s. My grandfather effectively deleted all records of his early life and my grandmother only kept a few commercially produced pictures of her girlhood.

Here's one of them.

These are the Bridges children. Their father was a draper (like Kipps.)  My Granny, Violet, is the oldest of the three girls. A fourth daughter, Joan (my favourite great aunt) was either not yet born or too young to join the parade.

Date? 1910- something like that.  Perhaps a little earlier...

I'm not sure quite what's going on. I don't think those outfits are everyday wear. They could be party clothes or even fancy dress. I gather the family went in for ambitious amateur theatricals.
