This is a photo of the Wesleyan Gala on 18 Jun 1910 probably in North Ormesby, Yorkshire.  It notes ‘Young People’s Mission’ below the photograph.  The seated gentleman in the bowler hat is my great great grandfather Thomas Thornton Smith, the Works Manager at the Teeside Bridge and Engineering Company.  Seated on the right hand side of the table is his wife Edith nee Sykes.

I don’t know for sure exactly where this was taken, but they lived in North Ormesby at the time of the 1911 census.  I also have no idea why Thomas and Edith were the only seated people in the photo.  Any further information would be appreciated!
