This week’s pictures from the past

Go on, we’ve got you stumped with this one, haven’t we? It is “The Early Birds Dramatic Company, Wellington.” But who were they? When was the picture taken? Indeed where was it taken?
Telford historian and author Allan Frost emailed us the photo, saying he was throwing down the gauntlet to our readers.
“It’s thought to have been taken around 1910 or even during the Great War, and bears the stamp of ‘Star Photographic Studio’ on the back. Any idea if this is ‘our’ Wellington and, if so, who are the young men, where did they perform, when and what productions did they appear in? I haven’t been able to discover anything at all!”
So, Shropshire Star readers it’s over to you.
