  • Help needed dating a photo

    I have attached a photo which we think appeared in the Northern Echo at some point. It appears to have been taken at Christmas on a childrens hospital ward probably in Gateshead area.

    I am trying to date it so that I can then either contact the paper for more information or find someone going to the local archives.

    I am hoping someone may have some knowledge of nurses uniforms in the past century which may help.

    Hi George, I'm no expert but I think this is early in the 20th century, probably the late 'teens or early twenties....

              I wonder if Joan (Muggins) has seen this ?

              Or maybe Stella might be a help ....

                I think it is from the 1920's. The way the nurses have their hats set low over the brow......think of the Queen Mum's wedding photos!

                  Well, it's not the type of uniform I wore in the 1950s/60s. I would say 1920/30s.;)

                    Not as late as 1930's. I'd personally say it's WWI era or immediately afterwards. Definently not later than 1925, unlikely earlier than 1910.

                      I have a picture taken of my great grandfather at a military hospital in 1918 and the nurses headgear is different, So I would go with 1920s-1930s

                        Thanks everyone for all your input, this is one of the many pictures in the album which belonged to my great great grandads sister which we acquired through ebay.

                        Only a few of the people in the album were named and I have not succeeded in tracing anyone descended from the family.

                        I am considering the possibility that one of the nurses was one of Jane Bramwells daughters or they knew a patient in the picture.
