Any idea when this was taken? My Grandfather and all his Brothers and sisters were born there between 1887 and 1910 ish
I think the date for this picture is 1889

1861 February 22 “Stamford Mercury”: ‘The following ale-house licenses were transferred: The Axe and Hand-saw, Moulton, from J. W. Roberts, sen., to J. W. Roberts, jun.’ (John Watson Roberts, Sr. is my husband’s G-G-G-Grandfather) Thank you for posting the photo!
Glad we were able to help
