Dave the photograph looks a lot older than the 1920's More like the turn of the 20th cen. up to WW1??

I agree with Wiganer. I've got family photos of my grandma and great aunt, dating to 1903,and they're wearing pinafore dresses like the small children in this picture.

It was only a very wild guess, therefore you might be perfectly correct.

John Gaskell is shown as the pub landlord.
According to christening records for his children, he was landlord in 1903, and was still there in WWI.
