    Only further clue I can give you is it's old. The wad of negatives ranges in subject and age but probably 40's and 50's for a lot of them. So I can only say guess around then.

    I don't know myself, so this isn't a trick question.

    I reckon it could be mainland Europe. The crown isn't the British style crown and the "cathederal?" pictured looks European.
    The stuff's in the post by the way.

    Not a coronation - the crown is not the heavy type used for giving the new monarchs a headache.
    In fact it looks more like a expensive wedding and the darkness suggests this is near the reception facility! A bride with a Cinderella/Princesse Grace/Diana complex perhaps!

    It's the 1953 Coronation illuminations in the Mall leading up to Buckingham Palace.

    Sorry Ash,
    I got that wrong and I only lived around the corner.

    It was nasty cold day. I was busy taking part in a street party down in South London - it was just before we got a television in the family.
    Next competition should be the Festival of Britain from 1951 or the Crystal Palace before it burned down.
