Rochdale or Wolverhampton?

Well, yes I know - it could be anywhere couldn't it?

This is another of the uncaptioned photos from Fran's side of the family. We think it could well be from her Dad's family. Robert Walton Perks, Bob to most, came from Wolverhampton. We never saw much of his family though so couldn't even try at guessing who these people are.

It is, of course, possible that this is a Rochdale family, although Fran feels if it was her Mum's side we'd have been able to recognise someone from other photos. What I do love is the gleefully grinning face peering through the curtains from inside the house! What was life like for these people - where did they end up and what did they do for a living? We don't even have a date for the photo but we think it likely that this was taken in the 1930s or 40s - possibly during the war as there are no menfolk in sight. Anybody recognise a face?
