DO you recognise anyone in this old photograph?

The picture has been in Stephen Beattie’s family for many years and depicts a 15 piece band.

But Mr Beattie now wants to find out more about the picture, which was taken by John Rayne from Glendale Studio in Maldon.

Mr Beattie, of Stoke on Trent, said: “Unfortunately, I don't know anything about it, but presume someone in the picture is a family relative.

“My forebears lived at 5 Fambridge Road, and the name was Lewin.

“I guess the picture was taken in the early 1900's but would welcome confirmation.

“I would be interested to know the name of the band and the names of anyone shown in the picture.”
