Can't guarantee but it came to me in an album which belonged to a great aunt who was. Could be a 'chara' to the seaside I suppose.

There is the Burnley Rd Bowling Club, quite a number of its members served in WW1, but I can't see any faces I recognise, may have been taken at an away match.
Try Burnley Rd Bowling Club, see if the have any idea where the photo was taken

Yep, I also felt it was something to do with the Globe and of course Howard and Bulloughs. I am sure I have seen something similar in Accrington Library.

Happy New Year to all
