Rogues Gallery

Can you help the Post Card Detective to complete the story behind the following pictures

 

It is very frustrating to find a photograph which undoubtedly shows someone's ancestor, a large group of people, or a property - but where there is no clear indication who/what/where they are.

Can you identify the latest Rogues?

Make sure you have labelled all your family photos, etc., so that future generations will know who the people are. It is sad to see whole albums of Victorian family portraits being sold at our local auction house, none of which are named - and there is no indication of even where the album came from.
