I only know that the chap on the far left on back row is George Myers, who lived on Bedford Street and was the vice president of Greenhough Street Independent Methodist Church. The chap on the far right bottom row is John (Jack) Myers (George's Son). Does anyone know where this was taken? Any ideas on the Bowling team? Did they win ?!!

Adrian, I think this is taken on the Great Acre bowling green, which is still there behind Longshot Health centre in Scholes.
