Walking day, UpHolland, c.WWI. The procession is at 'Stoneleigh', turning out of Higher Lane into Church Street.

Correction to my comments above ...
This may well have been a procession of the Liverpool Orange Lodges, which used to have an annual excursion to the Abbey Lakes Pleasure Grounds in the early 20thc. The bowler hats and sashes worn by many of the men marching would suggest this.
