More detail »The fashions suggest the 1930s and these ladies are obviously awaiting some kind of fashion show in a department store. It could be Robinson's ? Hill Carter ? Gray Peverell ?
The photo has possibly been taken in a basement to one of these stores as the ceiling looks low and it could be a store room indicated by the stacked chairs above the ladies on the right. There also seem to be a number of mirrors arranged on the beams.
