miked Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 Dont know much about this photo. ( I inherited it from a album belonging to a Sheffield family called Audoire.) I wondered if anyone can fathom where it was taken? There are 3 charabangs behind the group which seems to comprise mainly of men. (Works trip?)

Below the bendy scratch it says "Hotel" which isn't much help - anyone got better eyes please ?. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardB Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 and not many Audoire's about either - other than Harry Isaac Audoire, usefully described as "Householder" in Kelly's 1925 Directory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveH Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 Below the bendy scratch it says "Hotel" which isn't much help - anyone got better eyes please ?. Background looks hilly and building a stone. Could it be a day trip out to Castleton, Edale or somewhere like that? (just a guess) I get the impression that given the likely date, and the fact that it is a CHARABANC (correct spelling rather than local pronunciation) rather than a coach that the deatination would be nearer home rather than more distant.

RichardB Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 one of the Ladies could just be Lilian Francis Audoire, from this list of Female Sorting Clerks and Telegrahists ... making no claims, mind you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could it be Stocksbridge ? Thomas Audoire (Alderney), Sarah J (Ireland) and Harrie (Sam's brother, Alderney)) were from Wadsley in the 1901 Census after all ...

RichardB Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 I'd love a detailed scan to the left of the word Hotel, then we could ask a pub expert when she is online ... also, really, really dumb question - anything on the back (at all); did it come from an album; any names, family, album producer; any dates at all; any company names, any narrative of any description ?

RichardB Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 Flowers in lapels; variety of hats - flat, trilby, bowler, straw, clowns hat with flower (OK, I made that one up).

Thomas Audoire (Alderney), Sarah J (Ireland) and Harrie (Sam's brother, Alderney)) were from Wadsley in the 1901 Census after all ... Joyce is my Aunt The Audoires (several branches) came over from Alderney and Guernsey for work around 1900. They married here so the photos could well be of maternal family They nearly all served in WW1 (the channel Islands had a strong militia tradition) Issac received a commendation by Haig, signed by Churchill Harry Charles Thomas John Edward (my Grandfather) http://www.greatwarci.net/galleries/audoire-es/ Also served in the Home Guard. All received medals and survived. My grandfathers two brothers (Guernsey) also survived. Norman (Alderney)) RFC. also survived but wounded. There were others! PHOTO- I thought Edale with the Skyline. The "Hotel" (which I didnt see) is a big affair and I dont think will be in Edale. May be Castleton? I think the skyline will be key. Thanks for efforts, you never fail to amaze me.

RichardB Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 Dead centre, man with coat on his arm, to his right, presumably kneeling or impersonating a dwarf is Bruce Forsythe - lets ask Brucie !

No notes at all. I meant to ask, did I see a post offering to enhance photos? I will print a copy and take out one day. There is a (short) word next to Hotel but I doubt if it can be read? Interesting array of hats, Trilby, boater, bowlers and the "ecky thump" style flat cap. Not qualified to judge the female attire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some clever people can do stuff with photos, but, he's just gone to bed - early shopping duties. Do you have a scanner or access to one ?, I don't, Stuart "stole" mine (which I delivered) - a high quality scan of that Hotel section would be most welcome.

DaveH Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 AAARRRGGGHHHH !!! Give me an estimate on the date Dave !!! We're in need of a Transport-Expert here to put a date to them Chara's. Well, from the link I provided to the correct usage of the word charabanc, and given the dress you have referred to in susequent posts the date would appear to be most likely Edwardian (1901 -1910) but I would have thought any date between roughly the dawn of the 20th century and out the outbreak of the first world war is a likely candidate.

However, more details of the school would be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
