How old would you say this photo is?

[namechange0202]

Been given a huge cardboard box of old photos from a relative to try and identify where possible - they were all for the bin as thought to be useless so I’ve rescued them ... I’ve tracked about 30 down to friends in the USA, a lot more to different places in Europe and several others we’ve been able to give a decent guess but this one has us totally thrown . I think it’s really quite an old photo and don’t recognise the lass at all, I’ve shown it to other family who are also clueless .

I think it’s definitely a British photo, but no idea what era ... maybe that’s impossible to work out?!

Thought I’d ask on here - surely someone else is as bored as me and fancies a mystery . I’ve blanked her face out deliberately .

For context family are all Scottish and photos in box date from 1930 to about 2000 ... (very helpful, I know) .

1970s

Obviously not to be able to identity the lass - although given the box also included dozens of postcards advertising eg pears soap, I wouldn’t be surprised if this turns out to be similar !

Hard to say but I think 1970s

I'd say late 70s maybe early 80s, going off the rounded corners and I think it's square rather than rectangle I can't tell. That's going by photos I've got.

1970S I Had similar school pinafore and Clarks T bar school shoes
Also is that a metal framed swing?
Had one of those too.
That girl possibly now in her mid 50s

Definitely 1970s. I'd say early-mid, rather than late.

She wouldn’t have been posing for Miss Pears would she?

Yep 1970s. I had those shoes in a sort of dark cherry colour. I'm fifty-mumble.

I would say 1970's/early 80's. I was born in the seventies and all my baby/young child photos were the same square with rounded corners.

The house looks like married quarters?

Thank you, trying to make a list of possible cousins it could be then . Yep I think a metal swing, and definitely square/rounded corners .

Seems my great gran kept every photo she ever received, there are hundreds . Dozens of babies - which aren’t brilliant for identifying as all babies look very similar !

I can’t bring myself to bin them as they must have been important to someone once - no way of ever finding eg the American family some of them belong to .

Early 70s.

Married quarters makes a lot of sense - thank you !

I would say 1975/1985

I would say 70's purely for the fact that my mum has photo albums from that decade and the photos have the same rounded edges.

Thumbs up and good luck with the quest.

mid-70s, both from the outfit and from the print style

70's, I have lots of childhood pics similar to this.

I agree 70s I had shoes like those throught late 70s and early 80s. The jumper under pinafore is reminiscent of lots of my old photos from late 70s.

I would have been that age in the 70s, and the clothes look earlier than the kind of thing I wore. I think 60s or maybe 50s, my older sisters wore things like this around that time.

I think it’s really quite an old photo
I'm guessing 70s too. That's not old, that's younger than me!

Clothes and quality of the photo late 70s.

Yes definitely 70,s or possibly early 80,s going off the clothes and type of photo.
