Hi Rose,
Just looked at your picture.
It looks very much like they are standing on an embankment of a railway line, with a tunnel entrance going through a hill.
There also looks to be a peak capped railway guard among them.. could be wrong.

Hi Foggy, that's what I wondered about the man in the cap lol, in the original just under the bridge does seem to be reflection on water which you can't make out when I scan it in ...so I am wondering if the train took them and they are on canal bank....oh for another inch or so of photo lol

would a canal bank have such a slope.?????

There is normally a path beside canal on either side for the horses that pull the barges.

Foggy, definitely on a jolly judging by the beer barrel :) assumed it to be along the Thames , both from a practical point of view journey wise and also financial ?

sorry meant to add gt grandfather lived in Chiswick

Dang Rose - I'm sure I recognise the ballustrade of that bridge from somewhere!

I've just trawled the Internet for all the Grand Union Canal bridge photos from Invinghoe to Brentford - I'm feverishly trying to think where I ramble and cycle to see if I can find a match for you.
