Hospital? Group photo

post-20221-1175515283.jpgThis group photo from my grandads small collection looks like it could have been taken in the grounds of a hospital or convalescent home. Another photo I have was taken at the Lancaster convalescent home in Sept. 1916 but I'm not sure if this was taken at the same time. I think the man with a white block between his knees is my granddad, John Lyons K.O.Y.L.I. 3129 & Royal Irish Fusiliers 23539.

Hi,

Could be Lancaster, the ridge in the background looks similar to the one which has the Ashton Memorial on it.

Best wishes,

Hi

The structure behind the men looks like the shelters that were to be found in airing courts of mental hospitals. I would suggest that the photo was taken in one of the Asylum War Hospitals (Asylums handed over to the military in 1915).
