This is a group of 28 healthy looking and well dressed girls, possibly aged from seven to eleven, half of whom are seated. What appears to be a serious faced lady sits at the front with an older girl on the left at the back. It could be a school or a Sunday school group. There were several such establishments in Penzance at the turn of the 20th century. The length of the girls' skirts would indicate an Edwardian era but the lace scarves are rather Victorian. Any help in identifying this group and its location would be most welcome by the Museum.
