I think from speaking to my mum, this was taken at the top of Greenough Street, just as it turns right into Scholes.

The front row of the party are (L to R): Unknown, Ethel O'Conner, Marion Knowles, Winifred Howe (nee Worthington - my mum), Jenny Cartwright and Madge Tracey behind Jenny. As for the other three girls, my mum can't remember their names - any help would be appreciated!
