Looks like the girls are having a rest on the lawn outside the Golborne pit canteen, the one in the centre is my mother Freda Thilwind and was taken about 1960, don't know the other 2 can anyone help.

Picture is slightly later than 1960. The RileyElf/Wolseley Hornet(in the background) only came out in 1961

Now your PICKING pie-eater...1960-1961 does it really matter. Lovely beautiful shot of a bygone era.

A very tranquil, and idyllic scene, which the ladies, deservingly, were enjoying, Hundreds of feet under them, it was a far, far, different story.

I think it may have been mid 1960s now I think back.
