Another Monochrome Monday and another blast from the past.
This is my aunt Lily in her Girl Guides uniform and I would guess that the picture was taken in Chorlton, Manchester in the early 1950's.
She was a Girl Guide leader and a Sunday School teacher for many years and I would imagine that she's about forty years of age in this photo.I do think the uniform design has changed quite a bit since those days !!!

Cool shot! I was a girl guide, too, but my uniform was a dress rather than top and skirt. Gee, this takes me back - but not that far! lol
I think you are right about the uniform. Your aunt looks somewhat uncomfortable for the camera which is pretty much a thing of the past with the ever present lens, these days.
My girl guide uniform certainly did not resemble this. Very personal mono shot.
Hi from rabaul - I love this photo!!! My Mum was a girl guide when she was a child/teenager in the 1930/40s - the uniform looks the same. Not sure how the uniform looks now though.
